Face recognition using Radial Basis Function networks

ABSTRACT

This paper presents experiments using an adaptive learning compo­ nent based on Radial Basis Function (RBF) networks to tackle the unconstrained face recognition problem using low resolution video in­ formation. Firstly, we performed preprocessing of face images to mimic the effects of receptive field functions found at various stages of the hu­ man vision system. These were then used as input representations to RBF networks that learnt to classify and generalise over different views for a standard face recognition task. Two main types of preprocessing (Difference of Gaussian filtering and Gabor wavelet analysis) are com­ pared. Secondly we provide an alternative, `face unit' RBF network model that is suitable for large­scale implementations by decomposi­ tion of the network, which avoids the unmanagability of neural net­ works above a certain size. Finally, we show the 2­D shift, scale and y­axis rotation invariance properties of the standard RBF network. Quantitative and qualitative differences in these schemes are described and conclusions drawn about the best approach for real applications to address the face recognition problem using low resolution images.
