12. Face Recognition
13. Simple Approach Recognize faces (mug shots) using gray levels (appearance)
Each image is mapped to a long vector of gray levels
Several views of each person are collected in the model-base during training
During recognition a vector corresponding to an unknown face is compared with all vectors in the model-base
The face from model-base, which is closest to the unknown face is declared as a recognized face.
14. Problems and Solution Problems :
Dimensionality of each face vector will be very large (250,000 for a 512X512 image!)
Raw gray levels are sensitive to noise, and lighting conditions.
Solution:
Reduce dimensionality of face space by finding principal components (eigen vectors) to span the face space
Only a few most significant eigen vectors can be used to represent a face, thus reducing the dimensionality

23. Training Create A matrix from training images
Compute C matrix from A.
Compute eigenvectors of C.
Compute eigenvectors of L from eigenvectors of C.
Select few most significant eigenvectors of L for face recognition.
Compute coefficient vectors corresponding to each training image.
For each person, coefficients will form a cluster, compute the mean of cluster.
24. Recognition Create a vector u for the image to be recognized.
Compute coefficient vector for this u.
Decide which person this image belongs to, based on the distance from the cluster mean for each person.
