Abstract: The Face Recognition Scheme Based on Neural Network and PCA technique for the detection of the persons. I have used the PCA technique which involves a mathematical method that transforms a number of possibly correlated variables into a smaller number of uncorrelated variables called principal components. Pre-processing stage –In this stage the images are made zero-mean and unit- variance. Dimensionality Reduction stage: (PCA) – Input data is reduced to a lower dimension to facilitate classification. In this stage dimension are reduced. Classification stage – The reduced vectors output from PCA are applied to the BPNN classifier for the training of the data and used to obtain the recognized image. I got good results from this proposed algorithm, MATLAB platform is used on various images to detect.
