Face recognition for different facial exprisions based on pca, lda analysis

Chandolu Prasanthi and Jayesh Gangrade

Abstract: 

The face is our primary focus of attention in social intercourse, playing a major role in identity. We can recognize thousands of faces in our lifetime and identify familiar faces at glance even after years of separation but it is difficult for computer compared with the human brain. In this paper presents comparative study of PCA (Principal Components Analysis) and LDA (Linear Discriminant Analysis) which are most popular appearance-based approaches in face recognition. PCA is recognized as an optimal method to perform dimension reduction. LDA once proposed to obtain better classification by using class information. Disputes over the comparison of PCA and LDA have motivated to study their performance. The Database of Faces which comprises 40 subjects with 10 images each, both recognition results have revealed the superiority of LDA over PCA for this medium-sized database.
