Every face has numerous,distinguishable
landmarks,thedifferent peaksand valleys.

, is a data-
data-reduction method that finds an
alternative set of parameters for a set of raw data (or features)
such that most of the variability in the data is compressed down
to the first few parameters
ü The transformed PCA parameters are orthogonal
ü The PCA diagonalizes the covariance
matrix, and the resulting diagonal elements are
the variances of the transformed PCA parameters
A
defines a point in the high-
defines high-dimensional
image space
Different face images share a number of
similarities
with each other
They can be described by a relatively
low--dimensional subspace
low
They can be projected into an appropriately
chosen subspace of
and
classification can be performed by similarity
computation (distance)
