"""Modified Olivetti faces dataset. The original database was available from (now defunct) http://www.uk.research.att.com/facedatabase.html The version retrieved here comes in MATLAB format from the personal web page of Sam Roweis: http://www.cs.nyu.edu/~roweis/ There are ten different images of each of 40 distinct subjects. For some subjects, the images were taken at different times, varying the lighting, facial expressions (open / closed eyes, smiling / not smiling) and facial details (glasses / no glasses). All the images were taken against a dark homogeneous background with the subjects in an upright, frontal position (with tolerance for some side movement). The original dataset consisted of 92 x 112, while the Roweis version consists of 64x64 images.
