Implementation of a face recognition system as experimental practices in an artificial intelligence and pattern recognition course

In this paper, we present the methodology developed in a course of Artificial Intelligence and Pattern Recognition. The methodology is focused on building a face recognition system. For this purpose, we developed an own face recognition database named "Medfaces". This database contains controlled and wild images for the same subjects, and it also contains infrared images and facial expression labels. This methodology has been applied for teaching telecommunications engineering course at Miguel Hernandez University of Elche (Spain). We also present the results of our teaching experience in terms of student satisfaction.
