Abstract
    In a collaborative virtual environment (CVE) participants are
    represented by icons called avatars. In order to correctly assign
    these avatars, participants must be identified as they enter, leave
    and navigate within the CVE. We present an approach and systems
    architecture for the use of automatic face recognition (AFR) to
    accomplish the task of participant identification. The requirements
    for AFR within a CVE are discussed and distinguished from those for
    general applications of AFR. A face recognition server has been
    developed to implement these requirements, and is described. The
    system is implemented in a Java Server Pages environment, using
    Java Native Interface to interact with individual face recognition
    algorithms, and interacts with other CVE components using messages
    in the SOAP protocol format.
