This method consists of four steps: i) Preprocessing, ii) Dimension reduction using DWT, iii) feature extraction using PCA and iv) classification using neural network. To validate this work, we have tested this technique on frontal images of the ORL and Yale databasesFace Recognition, , PCA, Neural Networks, Feature extraction,BiometricseigenfacesDWTArticle
