Eigenfaces computation using Oja's rule

Visualization of Oja's rule application as a method to find principal components of a set of example pictures of faces. Then computed components, so called eigenfaces, are used as a basis for subspace on which few projections are computed. Look at what happens when pictures not used at the begining, during PC computation, are projected on this subspace.

And yes, it's me on these pictures. I prepared these examples around 5 years ago.
Video was written in C with SDL and OpenGL.

great, I was waiting for this vid :)

I think the results could be even better if the contrast on initial photos would be higher.

really made my day, thanks for sharing!
