Hello there, 

Hello I am starting a project on face recognition (yeah!!), but the problem is I am in very early stages also a newbie when it comes to matlab. I do not have a strong maths background know that matlab is the best language to use to implement a facial recognition system. 

I was wondering if you could give me advice on what the best face recognition technique, but not too advance that it would take ages to program. This project is for a degree as you can understand there also exams I have to sit. 

I have researched eigenfaces and hidden marklov model. I have heard that these methods are extremely mathematical and will take an immense time to program. Is there any techniques that are not mathematically intensive and carried out with a time period of say 2 months. 

Any help will me hugely appreciated.

David 

p.s. I keep my post short next time
