What I call "Eigenvekil", is in fact no different than an eigenface or eigenvector, each of which is a component used for this reconstruction. The average face is the first eigenface, only one of 550 other eigenfaces/eigenvekils. Just wanted to point this out to avoid any misunderstandings. Hey Burak, thanks for the review!
