Face recognition is an ever changing and evolving domain for research. However, the application of face recognition is still new and not commonly used in this country as opposed to other biometric identifications. This paper seeks to find out the effectiveness and weaknesses of face recognition approach known as the eigenfaces. It was conducted using the PCA algorithm on eigenfaces on 35 students using different images stored in a training database. From the experiment conducted, the PCA eigenfaces approach is able to deliver and produce high accuracy results. It can recognize faces in a single static, multiple static and dynamic images.
