PCA

Face images can be denoted as a point in high dimentional space (d x 1)

Each eigenvector is known as a PC

Eigenvectors pivot in center of image points

face image = f

f = weight_1 x eigenvector_1 + weight_2 x eigenvector_2 + ... + weight_d x eigenvector_d

See notes from tuesday

LDA

Each subject has a label, PCA does not do this

In LDA you want the subjects seperated

The only difference between PCA and LDA is how we compute Covarience matrix (calculate 2 of them in LDA)

Sw and SB are the 2 Cov matricies
