A new algorithm for automatic face recognition is presented: reduced image eigenfaces (RlE), based on the eigenface mode, improvements in the recognition percentage. The original eigenfaces method has been implemented in order to compare the results obtained by the new method under various conditions, such as quantity of people and quantity of photos of each of them. In the experimentation, we have used a limited-image data base which is internationally normalized. With RIE, two important advantages are achieved in relation to the previous model: improvement of the percentage of success in the recognition, and possibility of enhancing the set of images used for training
