Embedded Bayesian networks for face recognition
نویسنده
چکیده
The embedded Bayesian networks (EBN) introduced in this paper, are a generalization of the embedded hidden Markov models previously used for face and character recognition. An EBN is defined recursively as a hierarchical structure where the ”parent” node is a Bayesian network (BN) that conditions the EBNs or the observation sequence that describes the nodes of the ”child” layer. With an EBN, one can model complex N-dimensional data, avoiding the complexity of N-dimensional BN while still preserving their flexibility and partial scale invariance. In this paper we present an application of the EBNs for face recognition and show the improvement of this approach versus the ”eigenface” and the embedded HMM approaches.

Biometric Implementation of Bayesian Networks for Face Recognition on Android Mobile Devices
Face recognition is a field that receives attention and inquiry by Artificial Intelligence, Computer Security and Intelligent Data Processing researchers. Its application as a biometric has also grown due to the growth of the camera technologies. The digital camera’s resolution and noise reduction in images makes the camera view the world in more or less the same as a human being. However, this...
متن کاملModeling face recognition learning in early infant development
Face recognition development has been studied in experimental psychology, in the first month of life. These studies show that already at the age of 4 months the right hemisphere processes configural information, while the left hemisphere processes what is classically called local information. We have developped a neural model to understand how face recognition learning develops in early infancy...
متن کاملDBN versus HMM for Gesture Recognition in Human-Robot Interaction
We designed an easy-to-use user interface based on speech and gesture modalities for controling an interactive robot. This paper, after a brief description of this interface and the platform on which it is implemented, describes an embedded gesture recognition system which is part of this multimodal interface. We describe two methods, namely Hidden Markov Models and Dynamic Bayesian Networks, a...
متن کاملThe Sociometer: A Wearable Device for Understanding Human Networks
In this paper, we describe the use of the sociometer, a wearable sensor package, for measuring face-to-face interactions between people. We develop methods for learning the structure and dynamics of human communication networks. Knowledge of how people interact is important in many disciplines, e.g. organizational behavior, social network analysis and knowledge management applications such as e...
متن کاملOnline Visual Recognition of Dynamic Gestures Using Dynamic Bayesian Networks
Gestures are a natural and effective altenative to command mobile robots. This paper describes an online visual recognition system to recognize a set of 5 dynamic gestures executed with the user’s right hand and oriented to command mobile robots. The system employs a radial scan segmentation algorithm combined with a statistical-based skin detection method to find the candidate face of the user...
