General info

This Project contains the principle component method on a large set of images of different human faces (here: Olivetti Dataset). The derived eigenvectors are called eigenfaces. They can be used for human face recognition.

Technologies

Project is created with:

• R Version: 4.0.2

Setup

To run this project, we recommend using RStudio.

Illustration

Nine examples of the images in the Olivetti Dataset: (plots created with this code.)

First nine eigenfaces of the Olivetti Dataset: (plots created with this code.)

Projection of images onto the first two eigenfaces: (plots created with this code.)

Furthermore, a classifcation algortihm is implemented. Here it is performed on picture 33 of the dataset.

Additional content: Shiny App Vignette * Extensive documentation

We recommend reading the vignette for additional details.
