PCA based face recognition: An application

Face recognition is one of the most important problems of the computer based systems. In literature, there are several methods used for face recognition such as holistic, local or hybrid methods. On the other hand, recent researches revealed that The Principle Component Analysis (PCA) is a useful method to solve image recognition and compression. Thus, it is possible to realize face recognition by using PCA method. In this study, a PCA based face recognition system was developed and suggested to use for different aims. In order to evaluate and apply face recognition, PCA analysis was used, and an algorithm has been developed in the research. Results were tested, and suggestions for further analysis have been given.
