help_face_recognition

hi.. .I'have a project face recognition using PCA
I'm staking in how to train the database:I don't konw how to create the Mat file ..
I'need an idea ..I'm working with ORL database
I'have juste write some lines here's
%Read in the images

[image1,map1] = imread('1.BMP');
[image2,map2] = imread('2.BMP');
[image3,map3] = imread('3.BMP');
[image4,map4] = imread('4.BMP');
[image5,map5] = imread('5.BMP');
[image6,map6] = imread('6.BMP');
[image7,map7] = imread('7.BMP');
[image8,map8] = imread('8.BMP');
[image9,map9] = imread('9.BMP');
[image10,map10] = imread('10.BMP');

data1 = double(image1);
data2 = double(image2);
data3 = double(image3);
data4 = double(image4);
data5 = double(image5);
data6 = double(image6);
data7 = double(image7);
data8 = double(image8);
data9 = double(image9);
data10 = double(image10);

% make the data matrix
raw_data = zeros(92*112,10);
raw_data,1) = data1);
raw_data,2) = data2);
raw_data,3) = data3);
raw_data,4) = data4);
raw_data,5) = data5);
raw_data,6) = data6);
raw_data,7) = data7);
raw_data,8) = data8);
raw_data,9) = data9);
raw_data,10) = data10);
save 'train' raw_data;
display('training with success')

I'dont konw what to do in the next ..I must have a trainfile where is 7 face image for trainning and testfile where there's 3 face image for testing

I'm in need for your help )
thanks in advance

hi friend
face recognition is a major area of research within biometric signal processing.u have to read documents about this subject first.
matlab also have some example.i share a documents that explain a method for face detection.
be success

Hi,
i am doing my project in fingerprint recognition,so i can tell you how we created our database using mat file.We had to save a matrix which contains the processed information as a template in our database ,so we just used the "save" function and created the database.our code lines are as follows-

data{fp_number}=rf_map;
save('tej.mat','data','fp_number','-append');

now,rf_map is the matrix which we need to store,so we transferred it into data giving it fp_number (as reference number ),and then it is stored in the database named tej.mat.append means next data will be appended to previous data.
