Recognizing Handwritten Digits Using Mixtures of Linear Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We construct a mixture of locally linear generative models of a collection of pixel-based images of digits, and use them for recognition. Different models of a given digit are used to capture different styles of writing, and new images are classified by evaluating their log-likelihoods under each model. We use an EM-based algorithm in which the M-step is computationally straightforward principal components analysis (PCA). Incorporating tangent-plane information [12] about expected local deformations only requires adding tangent vectors into the sample covariance matrices for the PCA, and it demonstrably improves performance.

متن کاملHandwritten digit recognition using biologically inspired features
Image recognition problems are usually difficult to solve using raw pixel data. To improve the recognition it is often needed some form of feature extraction to represent the data in a feature space. We use the output of a biologically inspired model for visual recognition as a feature space. The output of the model is a binary code which is used to train a linear classifier for recognizing han...
