handwritten digit recognition can be categorized as a classification problem. probabilistic neural network (pnn) is one of the most effective and useful classifiers, which works based on bayesian rule. in this paper, in order to recognize persian (farsi) handwritten digit recognition, a combination of intelligent clustering method and pnn has been utilized. hoda database, which includes 80000 p...

Face recognition is still an active pattern analysis topic. Faces have already been treated as objects or textures, but human face recognition system takes a different approach in face recognition. People refer to faces by their most discriminant features. People usually describe faces in sentences like ``She's snub-nosed'' or ``he's got long nose'' or ``he's got round eyes'' and so like. These...

Despite of achieving good performance in controlled environment, the conventional 3D face recognition systems still encounter problems in handling the large variations in lighting conditions, facial expression and head pose The humans use the hybrid approach to recognize faces and therefore in this proposed method the human face recognition ability is incorporated by combining global and local ...
