Chapter 8. Face Recognition using Eigenfaces or Fisherfaces
This chapter will introduce concepts in face detection and face recognition and provide a project to detect faces and recognize them when it sees them again. Face recognition is both a popular and a difficult topic, and many researchers devote years to the field of face recognition. So this chapter will explain simple methods of face recognition, giving the reader a good start if they want to explore more complex methods.
In this chapter, we cover the following:
- Face detection
- Face preprocessing
- Training a machine-learning algorithm from collected faces
- Face recognition
- Finishing touches
