  18. Thank GOD!! My mind can recognize female faces easily.  • Stability of different methods depends on number of training sequences. • SVM proves to be stable and reliable global classifier with acceptable accuracy. • Using PCA as dimension reducer and SVM as a classifier can produce better results, if more training sequences can be used.
