Feature Extraction and classification are important aspects of pattern recognition, computer vision. Principal Component Analysis is a well-known feature extraction and data representation technique. But this method is affected by illumination conditions. The combination o PCA an SVM for face recognition is presented in this paper. Before applying Principal Component Analysis preprocessing o images done by using wavelet transform. After PCA is applied or feature extraction. Support Vector
