Why does the PCA react so much on certain non-face images? How to improve the method to compare original picture with reconstructed picture? Perhaps there are better methods than calculating the Euclidian distance. As the curves suggest, the PCA seems to be better suited for face recognition than for face detection, because it can very well distinguish between DB-face and any other image, but not between non-DB-faces and non-faces.
