A 3-D face recognition system has a first data storing module for storing 3-D face model data and 2-D face image data; an input unit for inputting 3-D face model data and 2-D face image data; a signal converting module for converting analog data of the 3-D face model data and 2-D face image data to digital data; a second data storing module for storing the digital data; a microprocessing module for analyzing geometric characteristics of points in the 3-D face model data stored in the first and second data storing module to determine feature points of the 3-D face model data, and assigning different weight ratios to feature points; and a comparing module for comparing the feature points stored in the first and second data storing module, during which, different geometric characteristics being given different weight ratios, and calculating relativity between the feature points to obtain a comparison result.
