Facial Recognition using Eigenfaces

This is the repository for my 2020's Linear Algebra class' final project. Me and my partner chose to implement the Eigenfaces method for face recognition.

Contents:

• att-database: Our chosen dataset of faces. It belongs to AT&T Laboratories Cambridge. Proper references can be found in the report and the presentation.

• report.pdf: Explains the problem of facial recognition, our methodology, results and conclusions.

• presentation.pdf: Presentation version of the report.

• eigenfaces_mean.py and eigenfaces_min.py: Code files for both recognition algorithms we implemented.

• eigenfaces: Folder with some of the eigenfaces we generated.
