- Find boundary of the face
- Normalize
- Map to low dimension
- Store location
2. Extract the features and classify pictures by SVM (Matlab/PHP/Python)
3. Store the features to database (MySQL)
4. Retrieve pictures form database to satisfy the query requirement (PHP/Python)
5. Display the result on the website (JavaScript)

2. Survey OpenCV
- How to pre-process image

Questions:
1. Could a picture map to a location and store them before?
2. How to call Matlab from PHP or C# ?
