Another issue addressed is how to select the number of eigenfaces to achieve a good classification rate. As the experimental evidence show, generally one needs less eigenfaces than usually considered. We will present different strategies and discuss their effectiveness in the case of face-class modeling.face_detectionLTS5text::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
