Comment 86 for bug 507511

Merry Christmas everyone.

I think this is an appropriate time to report some success in the project :)

I got v0.01 of my Eigenface Recognition to work and recognise different faces, not recognise others and so on. I have tried it on a very limited set of training data, it worked pretty fast, (there are plenty more optimisations to do anyways), but it works :D

I guess this is the first step on a long road of getting it into production and release. I am going to make a bigger training set in next couple of days (whilst digesting all the left over turkey), if it still works, then I will add more "user friendly" features and would like for others to try out, hopefully break it, so we can make it better. At the moment a lot of things like size of the images and so on are fixed and framework doesn't resize them yet, but all in good time.
