چکیده

A robust and efficient face recognition system was developed and evaluated. The each individual face is characterized by 2D-DCT coefficients which follows a finite mixture of doubly truncated Gaussian distribution. In modelling the features vector of the face the number of components (in the mixture model) are determined by hierarchical clustering. The model parameters are estimated using EM algorithm. The face recognition algorithm is developed by maximum likelihood under Baysian frame. The method was tested on two available face databases namely JNTUK and yale. The recognition rates computed for different methods of face recognition have revealed that the proposed method performs very well when compared to the other approaches. It is also observed that the proposed system require less number of DCT coefficients in each block and serve well even with large and small databases. The hybridization of hierarchical clustering with model based approach has significantly improved the recognition rate of the system even with the simple features like DCT.

Text Independent Speaker Identification Model Using Finite Doubly Truncated Gaussian Distribution and Hierarchical Clustering

In Speaker Identification the goal is to determine which one of a group of a known voice with best matches with the one of the input voices. Modelling the speaker voices is an important consideration for many applications. In developing the model, it is customary to consider that the voice of the individual speaker is characterized with finite component Gaussian mixture model. However, the Mel ...

Robust Method for E-Maximization and Hierarchical Clustering of Image Classification

We developed a new semi-supervised EM-like algorithm that is given the set of objects present in eachtraining image, but does not know which regions correspond to which objects. We have tested thealgorithm on a dataset of 860 hand-labeled color images using only color and texture features, and theresults show that our EM variant is able to break the symmetry in the initial solution. We compared...
