Abstract: The current research paper is an implementation of
Eigen Faces and Karhunen-Loeve Algorithm for face recognition.
The designed program works in a manner where a unique
identification number is given to each face under trial. These faces
are kept in a database from where any particular face can be matched
and found out of the available test faces. The Karhunen –Loeve
Algorithm has been implemented to find out the appropriate right
face (with same features) with respect to given input image as test
data image having unique identification number. The procedure
involves usage of Eigen faces for the recognition of faces.
Abstract: Face Recognition is a field of multidimensional
applications. A lot of work has been done, extensively on the most of
details related to face recognition. This idea of face recognition using
PCA is one of them. In this paper the PCA features for Feature
extraction are used and matching is done for the face under
consideration with the test image using Eigen face coefficients. The
crux of the work lies in optimizing Euclidean distance and paving the
way to test the same algorithm using Matlab which is an efficient tool
having powerful user interface along with simplicity in representing
complex images.
