  In this paper, a thermal infra red face recognition system for human
identification and verification using blood perfusion data and back propagation
feed forward neural network is proposed. The system consists of three steps. At
the very first step face region is cropped from the colour 24-bit input images.
Secondly face features are extracted from the croped region, which will be
taken as the input of the back propagation feed forward neural network in the
third step and classification and recognition is carried out. The proposed
approaches are tested on a number of human thermal infra red face images
created at our own laboratory. Experimental results reveal the higher degree
performance
