Performing face recognition with Fisherfaces

What about Fisherfaces? The process does not change much; we simply need to instantiate a different algorithm. With default arguments, the declaration of our model variable would look like this:

model = cv2.face.FisherFaceRecognizer_create() 

cv2.face.FisherFaceRecognizer_create takes the same two optional arguments as cv2.createEigenFaceRecognizer_create: the number of principal components to keep and the confidence threshold.
