Comparing 3 Face Recognition Approaches in Python: Eigenfaces (PCA), LBPH, and DeepFace

Face recognition has evolved significantly—from classical statistical methods like Eigenfaces (PCA) and texture-based descriptors like LBPH (Local Binary Pattern Histograms) to modern deep learning frameworks like DeepFace . In this post, we will implement and compare all three approaches on a smal…
