Face recognition from a tabula rasa perspective

[EN]In this paper a system for face recognition from a tabula rasa (i.e. blank slate) perspective is described. A priori, the system has the only ability to detect automatically faces and represent them in a space of reduced dimension. Later, the system is exposed to over 400 different identities, observing its recognition performance evolution. The preliminary results achieved indicate on the one side that the system is able to reject most of unknown individuals after an initialization stage.
