[email protected] Abstract: Face recognition is one of the emergent technologies that has been used in many appli- cations. It is a process of labeling pictures, especially those with human faces. One of the critical applications of face recognition is security monitoring, where captured images are compared to thousands, or even millions, of stored images. The problem occurs when different types of noise manipulate the captured images. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge by proposing an innovative framework for face recognition based on various descriptors, including the following: Color and Edge Directivity Descriptor (CEDD), Fuzzy Color and Texture Histogram Descriptor (FCTH), Color Histogram, Color Layout, Edge Histogram, Gabor, Hashing CEDD, Joint Composite Citation: Alreshidi, E.; Ramadan, Descriptor (JCD), Joint Histogram, Luminance Layout, Opponent Histogram, Pyramid of Gradient R.A.; Sharif, M..H.; Ince, O.F.; Ince, I.F.
