13.1 Eigenface Calculation
Step 1: Prepare the data
CHAPTER XIII
MATHAMETICAL CALCULATION
In this step, the faces constituting the training set (Гi) should be prepared
for processing.
Step 2: Subtract the mean
The average matrix, ψ , has to be calculated, then subtracted from the
original faces (Гi) and the result stored in the variable фi:
Step 3: Calculate the covariance matrix
In the next step the covariance matrix C is calculated according to
