A Face recognition Dynamic Link Library using Principal component Analysis Algorithm

This code uses a technique originally developed for facial recognition to describe shear stress distributions in open channel flow. In this approach, a synthetic database of images representing normalized shear stress distributions is formed from the training data set using recurrence plot analysis. A face recognition algorithm is then employed to synthesize the recurrence plots and transform the original database into short-dimension vectors containing similarity weights proportional to the principal components of the distribution of images. These vectors capture the intrinsic properties of the boundary shear stress distribution of the cases in the training set, and are sensitive to variations of the corresponding hydraulic parameters. ...

...Face Recognition has always been a popular subject for image processing and this article builds upon the good work by Sergio Andrés Gutiérrez Rojas and his original article (codeproject). The reason that face recognition is so popular is not only it’s real world application but also the common use of principle component analysis (PCA). PCA is an ideal method for recognising statistical patterns in data. The popularity of face recognition is the fact a user can apply a method easily and see if it is working without needing to know to much about how the process is working.

This project aims at developing a face authentication system, using the Eigenfaces, and Eigenfeatures. The Approach is a principal component analysis method, in which a set of characteristic pictures are used to describe the variation between face images.
