This is my guide to face recognition with OpenCV2 C++ and GNU Octave/MATLAB. If you research on face recognition, you'll soon notice there's a gigantic number of publications, but source code is very sparse. So this guide is here to change that. Two algorithms are explained and implemented with GNU Octave/MATLAB and OpenCV2 C++ namely Eigenfaces and Fisherfaces.
To build the Python version of this document simply run make python, to build the Octave version of this document run make octave.
If you are looking for a complete Python or GNU Octave/MATLAB implementation of various algorithms, please use github.com/bytefish/facerec instead.
