A method for face recognition is provided with collecting a match facial image; retrieving a reference image from image records of a database or an input image; selecting one or more facial features from each of the match facial image and the reference image; obtaining at least one match facial feature and a match deviation of the reference image corresponding to the facial features of the match facial image; creating a match geometric model and a reference geometric model; obtaining a model deviation by comparing the match geometric model and the reference geometric model; and employing a match deviation and a model deviation to obtain a recognition score based on a predetermined rule. The method involves a two-way face recognition by integrating facial features of block matching with geometric model comparison. It employs relationship of match deviation and model deviation.
