[Numpy-discussion] PCA on set of face images

[David Bolme]

The steps you describe here are correct.  I am putting together an  
open source computer vision library based on numpy/scipy.  It will  
include an automatic PCA algorithm with face detection, eye detection,  
PCA dimensionally reduction, and distance measurement.  If you are  
interested let me know and I will redouble my efforts to release the  
code soon.
