Face Recognition Using Fisher Face Technique

1. This package implements a Fisherface technique for face recognition using Fisher Linear Discriminant (FLD). 2. It contains functions to create a training database, generate a face space, and perform recognition on test images. 3. The functions are well-commented and an example script is provided to demonstrate loading sample training and test databases to perform face recognition in 5 steps.

Face-Recognition-using-FisherFace-technique

This package implements a well-known FLD-based face recognition method, which is


called 'Fisherface'.
All functions are easy to use, as they are heavy commented. Furtheremore, a sample
script is included to showe their usage. In general, you should follow this order:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Select training and test database paths.


Select path of the test image.
Run 'CreateDatabase' function to create 2D matrix of all training images.
Run 'FisherfaceCore' function to produce basis's of facespace.
Run 'Recognition' function to get the name of equivalent image in training database.

For your convenience, I have prepared sample training and test databases, which are
parts of 'face94' Essex face database [2]. You just need to copy the above functions,
along with the training and test databases into a specified path (for example 'work' path
of your MATLAB root). Then follow dialog boxes, which will appear upon running
'example.m'.
I would like to cite persons below, as their materials were very helpful in preparing this
package:
1. Hongcheng Wang,Beckman Institute, UIUC because of his useful presentation:
"Facial Recognition as a Pattern Recognition Problem"
2. Alan Brooks (in collaboration with Li Gao), Final Project Report submitted on June 9,
2004
for ECE 432 Computer Vision with Professor Ying Wu

Enjoy it!
