eigenimage

plural eigenimages

1. computingThe set of eigenvectors used by a computer system in the recognition of an image (especially of a face).

   The five eigenimage generic model succeeds as well as the five eigenimage individual model in capturing the global shading pattern, though the geometry is of course different.

   Various partial summations of the individual singular eigenimage matrices are included to demonstrate the cumulative effect of the individual outer products on the reconstruction of the entire image.

   We assume that the KLT, to a first approximation, fully decorrelates the eigenimages; we further assume that the wavelet transform fully decorrelates the pixels in each eigenimage.
