Hence, there is a need for the development of an improved AIFR system that can handle these shortcomings. In this work, an AIFR system using local-feature based approach was developed. It uses Fuzzy Local Binary Pattern (FLBP) algorithm for feature extraction and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for classification. Face and Gesture Recognition Research Network (FG-NET) database was used for testing, while Recognition performance was evaluated using recognition accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. Performance evaluation results of the developed system gave 89.44%, 49.80% and 49.77% recognition accuracy, sensitivity and specificity respectively. The system can be deployed in biometric identification systems and surveillance applications where age variations are pervasive.
