Maximum Likelihood Training of the Embedded HMM for Face Detection and Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The embedded hidden Markov model (HMM) is a statistical model that can be used in many pattern recognition and computer vision applications. This model inherits the partial size invariance of the standard HMM, and, due to its pseudo two-dimensional structure, is able to model twodimensional data such as images, better than the standard HMM. In this paper we describe the maximum likelihood training for the continuous mixture embedded HMM and present the performance of this model for face detection and recognition. The experimental results are compared with other approaches to face detection and recognition.

A New Fast and Efficient HMM-Based Face Recognition System Using a 7-State HMM Along With SVD Coefficients
In this paper, a new Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based face recognition system is proposed. As a novel point despite of five-state HMM used in pervious researches, we used 7-state HMM to cover more details. Indeed we add two new face regions, eyebrows and chin, to the model. As another novel point, we used a small number of quantized Singular Values Decomposition (SVD) coefficients as feature...
متن کاملAdapted Statistical Models of Face Images
It has been previously demonstrated that systems based on local features and relatively complex statistical models, namely 1D Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and pseudo-2D HMMs, are suitable for face recognition. Recently, a simpler statistical model, namely the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), was also shown to perform well. In much of the literature devoted to these models, the experiments were perf...

متن کاملAn embedded HMM-based approach for face detection and recognition
In this paper we describe an embedded Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based approach for face detection and recognition that uses an eecient set of observation vectors obtained from the 2D-DCT coeecients. The embedded HMM can model the two dimensional data better than the one-dimensional HMM and is computationally less complex than the two-dimensional HMM. This model is appropriate for face images si...

It has been shown previously that systems based on local features and relatively complex generative models, namely 1D Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and pseudo-2D HMMs, are suitable for face recognition (here we mean both identification and verification). Recently a simpler generative model, namely the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), was also shown to perform well. In this paper we first propose to ...
