A facial recognition method for eliminating the effect of noise blur and environmental variations is provided, applicable to a data processing apparatus, to determine whether a current-face-image matches a reference-face-image or not. According to the method, Gaussian Noise blur Reduction or another noise blur reduction method is performed on the current-face-image and the reference-face-image. Furthermore, the current-face-image and the reference-face-image are respectively divided into a plurality of blocks, so as to derive feature-vector sets representing the current-face-image and the reference-face-image. Finally a dynamic threshold value is determined according to environmental variations to be compared with the difference of the feature-vector sets, so as to determine whether a current-face-image matches a reference-face-image.
