Eigenfaces refers to an appearancebased approach to face recognition that seeks to capture the variation in a collection of face images and use this information to encode and compare images of individual faces in a holistic as opposed to a partsbased or featurebased manner.
Eigenfaces for recognition matthew turk and alex pentland vision and modeling group the media laboratory massachusetts institute of technology abstract we have developed a nearrealtime computer system that can locate and track a subjects head, and then recognize the person by comparing characteristics of the face to those of. The best optimized solution for face recognition is provided when both the features are combined i.

This technology has already been widely used in our lives. Our approach treats the face recognition problem as an intrinsically twodimensional 2d recognition problem rather than requiring recovery of threedimensional geometry, taking advantage of the fact that faces are normally upright and thus may be described by a small set of 2d characteristic views. Face recognition technique based on eigenfaces method. Balatarin bibsonomy bitty browser blinklist blogger blogmarks. The weights of the corresponding eigenfaces therefore represented the image. The significant features are known as eigenfaces, because they are the eigenvectors principal components of the set of faces. When eigenfaces are combined with wavelets springerlink.
