Face recognition II by Mok, Valerie Hui Fang

“…In this final report, its objective is to examine and study the Open Computer Vision (OpenCV) techniques such as PCA using Visual Studio C# programming language and develop a simple Graphic User Interface (GUI) that assures system perform reliably with an input camera to perform live face detection and recognition. The report will be covering on the study of various methods that can be applied on face recognition, the development of face detection and recognition with the appropriate design and system, and also to further test and evaluate the various test carried out to produce an accurate development.…”
