ABSTRACT:
A system comprising a neural network, or computer, implementing a feature detection and a statistical procedure, together with fuzzy logic for solving the problem of recognition of faces or other objects) at multiple resolutions is described. A plurality of previously described systems for recognizing faces (or other objects) which use local autocorrelation coefficients and linear discriminant analysis are trained on a data set to recognize facial images each at a particular resolution. In a second training stage, each of the previously described systems is tested on a second training set in which the images presented to the previously described recognition systems have a matching resolution to those of the first training set, the statistical performance of this second training stage being used to train a fuzzy combination technique, that of fuzzy integrals. Finally, in a test stage, the results from the classifiers at the multiple resolutions are combined using fuzzy combination to produce an aggregated system whose performance is higher than that of any of the individual systems and shows very good performance relative to all known face recognitior systems which operate on similar types of training and testing data, this aggregated system, however, not being limited to the recognition of faces and being able to be applied to the recognition of other objects.
