This document provides an overview of the Eigenfaces algorithm for facial recognition. It discusses that Eigenfaces involves obtaining a training set of faces, computing the mean image, subtracting that mean from each image to get a differential matrix, computing the covariance matrix from that, and then calculating eigenvectors and Eigenfaces from the covariance matrix. It also notes that preprocessing images through grayscale, normalization, and cropping is important. Finally, it mentions that the author once used a modified Eigenfaces approach to automate facial matching on the Tinder dating app.
