These are the eigenfaces of our set of original images
Recognition Procedure
1. A new face is transformed into its eigenface components. First we compare our
input image with our mean image and multiply their difference with each
eigenvector of the L matrix. Each value would represent a weight and would be
saved on a vector .

2. We now determine which face class provides the best description for the input
image. This is done by minimizing the Euclidean distance
