[Author here] Definitely never intended to claim that this was an original discovery; the original paper using the term is ~25 years old [http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~mturk/Papers/mturk-CVPR91.pdf].

Nonetheless, I've found it to be an interesting concept. There is indeed a homework from the Coursera ML course for computing and visualizing eigenfaces, and the course (and the Stanford CS229 notes) discuss PCA further. I decided to explore the ideas further and distill it into a blog post specifically on eigenfaces.

Goal is for it to serve as a condensed tutorial on an interesting topic! I definitely learned a bunch writing it, and it may be interesting to others who have yet to come across to concept.
