Abstract

A two-stage face recognition method is presented in this paper. In the first stage, the set of candidate patterns is narrowed down with the global similarity being taken into account. In the second stage, synergetic approach is employed to perform further recognition. Face image is segmented into meaningful regions, each of which is represented as a prototype vector. The similarity between a given region of the test pattern and a stored sample is obtained as the order parameter which serves as an element of the order vector. Finally, a modified definition of the potential function is given, and the dynamic model of recognition is derived from it. The effectiveness of the proposed method is experimentally confirmed.
