This package implements a well-known PCA-based face recognition method, which is called 'Eigenface'.
All functions are easy to use, as they are heavy commented. Furthermore, a sample script and two small training and test databases are included to show their usage.

when test image is in database then it shows the equivalent image, if the test image is not in database then it shows another person image as Equivalent image
why it is not showing any error (or) return something as "image not found in database"
someone please us.

Can You please tell me what is traindatabasepath in firstline of CreateDatabase()

Amir you have done a great job. I was reading tutorials and other materials for understanding the EigenFace algorithm but I couldn't. Your code is simple and commented in the best way it could be that understood the algorithm very easily. Thank you so much. ALLAH bless you.

@kishore when you use your own database ,your images should be of same resolution. use reshape command to make them of same resolution

Amir Sir,Is there any limitations for the input.?When am giving my own database few errors r encountered
Error using horzcat
Dimensions of matrices being concatenated are not consistent.

Error in CreateDatabase (line 47)
T = [T temp]; % 'T' grows after each turn

Error in example (line 26)
T = CreateDatabase(TrainDatabasePath);
Please reply.
Thanks in advance

Hello, this code does not give right results if the training database contains the image that we choose for testing. If the image chosen for testing is a face that already exists in training database but a different image of the face, it's not giving the correct results, anyone having same problem?

@SUMAN AND RAMYA

i also got the same error..the solution is this will work for same dimension images..i changed all my images in the data base with same dimension eg(200*180);
then i got the output..try it best wises

this code is not working for my own database i am getting error as
Error using ==> horzcat
CAT arguments dimensions are not consistent.

Error in ==> CreateDatabase at 47
T = [T temp]; % 'T' grows after each turn

Error in ==> example at 26
T = CreateDatabase(TrainDatabasePath); how to clear this errors... any one help me to clear this error

great work..in your code it is not show eigenvalue ..it is just recognize face with train image.can you tell me how to show eigenvalue?

@shruti, were u able to connect webcam and compare pictures taken by it with your database. i want to do the same, if anyone else can also help?

Shruti

Shruti (view profile)

great work!! i have created my own traindatabase , but if i eliminate test database and try to take the test image via webcam and store it directly into a matlab variable and then run the program , it is not recognising my image but rather match some other face in the traindatabase.. i have resized test image appropriately and no errors are found when i run the code.. just face recognition fails... please suggest if i need to make any changes in the code or any other measures need to be taken into account while image capture through webcam like lighting. or any specific background needed.. please reply and help me ..

great work indeed!!very neatly computed!...I will be very happy if you can suggest how we can reject non-face images by calculating the Euclidean distance of the mean/centered test image from the face space??(Re:"Pentland and Turk:Eigenfaces for Recognition)

I've run the code several times using my own face database and it seems its trying to recognize on the basis of same file names in both training and test folders !!! I changed the file names several times to check this theory and as suspected, the recognition came out to be wrong. Only once it truly recognized the same face having different file names. Most of the times, it was just matching both 1.jpg files regardless of whose picture i put there.

Hello,

I noticed that you don't sort the eigenvectors at all. All you did was keeping the eigenvalues that are greater than 1 and their associated eigenvectors.
Can you tell me why please.

Can the author or anyone tell me why the Eigenfaces is 36000*19 instead of 36000*20? Why the D[1 1] would be negative value that causes the dimemsion to be 19?

Hi,
A really excellent piece of work. Thank You.
How to make this program reject unknon faces(those faces which are not in train database)?

dwi arliani

dwi arliani (view profile)

how to get the original eigenvalue (without eliminating eigenvalue under threshold)?because it cause error when i run Recognition.m.
it says "minus
Matrix dimensions must agree." because i realize that eigenfaces result is 19x20.. but the testing image is 20x20..
thx for your help :)

Code is well commented and it works well, however, the images used for training are the same that are used for testing. No wonder it works!

i am trying to use eigenface method in my project (face recognition via web cam).
but when i try import other picture into training & test image then run it. But error message pop-up
:"All matrices on a row in the bracketed expression must have the
same number of rows"
Any ideals to solve it?
thanks..very appreciate
