To run the program:

1- copy all files and directories to the MATLAB's work folder

2- find the file named "mainmenu.m"

3- Double click on this file or type "main" in the command window

4- The system is already trained for ORL database and loaded. You do not need to load or generate anything.

5- click on "Recognize a Face" to guess the person name.

Currently the recognition rate is about 96% in less than 0.22 sec per person.
