Simple MATLAB Face Recognition

This is a straightforward MATLAB face recognition program designed with a personal image database. The implementation utilizes core image processing and pattern recognition techniques to identify individuals from input facial images. The database contains multiple reference photos of the same person to enable effective comparison and recognition. The code structure demonstrates fundamental face recognition workflows including image preprocessing, feature extraction, and similarity matching algorithms. Users can examine key functions such as image normalization, principal component analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction, and distance-based classification methods. This implementation serves as an educational foundation for understanding basic face recognition principles, with modular code organization allowing for customization and extension to handle more complex recognition scenarios. The commented codebase provides clear insights into algorithm selection and parameter tuning considerations for practical face recognition applications.
