FACE DETECTION AND RECOGNIZATION USING PCA ALGORITHM

Image databases and live video data is growing rapidly, their intelligent or automatic examining is becoming exceptionally more important. Human faces are one of very common and very particular objects that we need to try to detect in images. Face detection is very difficult task in image analysis which has each day many applications. We can illustrate the face detection problem as a computer vision task which involve in detecting one or several human faces in an image. Identification & Authentication has become major problems in present digital world. Face detection plays a significant role in identification & authentication. In this paper we propose mechanism for detecting faces from low luminance video and poor quality video files using PCA and Voila Jones Algorithm. We show effectiveness of our algorithm by taking low light video and poor quality video for comparison.
