Abstract

Face recognition is essential component of various applications including computer vision, security systems and biometrics. By examining the efficacy of several dimensionality reduction techniques, including Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), and Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF), this paper offers a novel approach to face recognition. These techniques are combined with diverse classifiers, including Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest, LightGBM, and k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), are employed to evaluate their impact on face recognition accuracy. Experiments were conducted on Olivetti faces data set. We have demonstrated the comparative analysis of different dimensionality reduction techniques classifiers in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, f1score. Results shows the potential of integrating PCA with diverse classification models to enhance face recognition accuracy and highlights its applicability in real-world scenarios.
