Experimental Neural Facial recognition Optimisation Reporting and Management

This is a software package I wrote while I was at University to experiment with facial recognition and neural networks. I used it to write a report for an evolutionary computing class in which I compared particle swarm optimisation and back-propagation as training methods for the neural network weights. The report which provides some background and documentation to the software package can be found in the repo at Documentation/Report.pdf.

I wrote it a while ago and it is not currently under active development so it might have few bugs and lack some in-code documentation but I just put it up for curiosity sake for a few interested friends.

[NeuronDotNet]((http://sourceforge.net/projects/neurondotnet/): Which was the basis of my neural network code.

Travis Silvers' (firestrand) port of Standard-PSO: Which I modified to use in this project.

Gustavo Franco's custom OpenFileDialog code: Which I used to give a nifty preview to the image file open form.

Stephen Bogner's PixelMap Class: Which I used to open the weird file format supplied by the FERET database.

FERET: The source of many, many face images. (For free!).
