In this study, we develop a process of estimation of importance of features considered in face recognition by making use of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The AHP method of pairwise comparisons realized at three levels of hierarchy becomes crucial to realize a comprehensive weighting of cues so that sound estimates of weights associated with the individual features of faces can be formed. We demonstrate how to carry out an efficient process of face description by using a collection of linguistic descriptors of the features and their groups. Numerical dependencies between the features are quantified with the help of experienced criminology and psychology experts. Finally, we present an entropy-based method of evaluation of the relevance of the estimation process completed by the individuals. The intuitively appealing results of experiments are presented and analyzed in detail.
