Copy all files in Matlab current directory and type "fisherfaces" on
Matlab command window.



First, select an input image clicking on "Select image".
Then you can
  - add this image to database (click on "Add selected image to database"
  - perform face recognition (click on "Face Recognition" button)
    Note: If you want to perform face recognition database has to include 
    at least one image.
 If you choose to add image to database, a positive integer (face ID) is
 required. This posivive integer is a progressive number which identifies
 a person (each person corresponds to a class).
For example:
 - run the GUI (type "fisherfaces" on Matlab command window)
 - delete database (click on "Delete Database")
 - add "mike1.jpg" to database ---> the ID has to be 1 since Mike is the first
   person you are adding to database
 - add "mike2.jpg" to database ---> the ID has to be 1 since you have already
   added a Mike's image to database
 - add "paul1.jpg" to database ---> the ID has to be 2 since Paul is the second person
   you are adding to database
 - add "cindy1.jpg" to database ---> the ID has to be 3 since Cindy is
   the third person you are adding to database
 - add "paul2.jpg" to database ---> the ID has to be 2 once again since
   you have already added Paul to database
  
... and so on! Very simple, isnt't? :)

The recognition gives as results the ID of nearest person present in
database. For example if you select image "paul3.jpg" the ID given SHOULD
be 2: "it should be" because errors are possible. Input images are automatically
resized if they are too big, in order to avoid any memory error.
