Eigenvector vs Eigenimage - What's the difference?

eigenvector | eigenimage |

As nouns the difference between eigenvector and eigenimage

is that eigenvector is (linear algebra) a vector that is not rotated under a given linear transformation; a left or right eigenvector depending on context while eigenimage is (computing) the set of eigenvectors used by a computer system in the recognition of an image (especially of a face).
