Face recognition has been used in various applications where personal identification is required. Other methods of person's identification and verification such as iris scan and finger print scan require high quality and costly equipment. The objective of this research is to present an extended principal component analysis model to recognize a person by comparing the characteristics of the face to those of new individuals for different dimension of face image. The main focus of this research is on frontal two dimensional images that are taken in a controlled environment i.e. the illumination and the background is constant. This research requires a normal camera giving a 2-D frontal image of the person that will be used for the process of the human face recognition. An Extended Principal Component Analysis (EPCA) technique has been used in the proposed model of face recognition. Based on the experimental results it is expected that proposed the EPCA performs well for different face images when a huge number of training images increases computation complexity in the database.

This paper is about human face recognition in image files. Face recognition involves matching a given image with the database of images and identifying the image that it resembles the most. Here, face recognition is done using: (a) Eigen faces and (b) applying Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on image. The aim is to successfully demonstrate the human face recognition using Principal component analysis & comparison of Manhattan distance, Eucleadian distance & Chebychev distance for face matching.

Facial analysis has evolved to be a process of considerable importance due to its consequence on the safety and security, either individually or generally on the society level, especially in personal identification. The paper in hand applies facial identification on a facial image dataset by examining partial facial images before allocating a set of distinctive characteristics to them. Extracting the desired features from the input image is achieved by means of wavelet transform. Principal component analysis is used for feature selection, which specifies several aspects in the input image; these features are fed to two stages of classification using a support vector machine and K-nearest neighborhood to classify the face. The images used to test the strength of the suggested method are taken from the well-known (Yale) database. Test results showed the eligibility of the system when it comes to identify images and assign the correct face and name.

Face recognition technology has evolved over years with the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method being the benchmark for recognition efficiency. The face recognition techniques take care of variation of illumination, pose and other features of the face in the image. We envisage an application of these face recognition techniques for classification of medical images. The motivating factor being, given a condition of an organ it is represented by some typical features. In this paper we report the use of the face recognition techniques to classify the type of Esophagitis, a condition of inflammation of the esophagus. The image of the esophagus is captured in the process of endoscopy. We test PCA, Fisher Face method and Independent Component Analysis techniques to classify the images of the esophagus. Esophagitis is classified into four categories. The results of classification for each method are reported and the results are compared.

Face is the greatest superior biometric as the face has a complex, multidimensional and meaningful identity compared from one person to another. Face identification is executed by comparing the characteristics of the face (test image) with those of known individual images in the database. This paper describes the used of the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) algorithm for human face identification based on webcam image. The MATLAB is used as a tool for image processing and analysis. The important decision to identify the person is by the minimum distance of the face images and known face images in face space. From the results, it can be concluded that the work has successfully implemented the PCA algorithm for human face identification through a webcam.
