Face Recognition Algorithm Using EigenFaces

[aditi-dey29]

Describe your change:

I have added a face recognition algorithm, implemented using numpy and matrix algebra. It is a .ipynb file, and the code can also be run via the google colab link shared in the file. The algorithm and the detailed explanation has been included in the file itself.

This is a submission required for #Hactoberfest. The tests are failing might be due to .py file. The collab notebook, whose link has been included in the file is running perfectly.

@cclauss is it permitted to copy other's project and paste it just mentioning the source? Because it seems the whole code here is just directly copied from here.

yes that google Collaboratory is also mine. I originally wrote the code there, but since there is no way to upload .ipynb files in this repo, I downloaded that as a .py and uploaded it here.

thanks for all the suggestions, I'll change them as soon as possible.

Oh then it's alright. Thanks for contributing!
