Abstract
This paper introduces a new concept of LLE eigenface modelled by local linear embedding (LLE), and compares it with the traditional PCA eigenface from principle component analysis (PCA) on pose identity and face identity recognition through face classification. LLE eigenface is found outperforming PCA eigenface on the discrimination/recogntion of both face identity and pose identity. The superiority on face identity recognition is own to a more balanced energy distribution on LLE eigenfaces, while the superiority on pose identity recognition is due to the fact that LLE preserves a better local neighborhood of face images.
