FACE RECOGNITION USING PCA, LDA AND VARIOUS DISTANCE CLASSIFIERS

Face recognition has become a major field of interest these days. Face recognition algorithms are used in a wide range of applications such as security control, crime investigation, and entrance control in buildings, access control at automatic teller machines, passport verification, identifying the faces in a given databases. This paper discusses different steps involved in face recognition using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and the different distance measures that can be used in face recognition.
