i want to perform facial recognition by using the Principal Component Analysis algorithm. I want to implement the algorithm in python or java myself however i am unsure where to start. Would appreciate some code samples/tutorials/references to get me started.
you can start by reading the original paper about the EigenFaces
method (PCA-based face recognition):
“Eigenfaces for Recognition”: http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~mturk/Papers/jcn.pdf
Also, if you want to find some code samples, OpenCV implemented
in of the latest versions, a face recognizer that is also based
on EigenFaces:
http://opencv.itseez.com/modules/contrib/doc/facerec/facerec_api.html?highlight=face%20recognition#createeigenfacerecognizer
Please notice that are python bindings for the OpenCV and that also
a Java version of OpenCV called JavaCV.
