Abstract
Face recognition from an image or video sequences is emerging as an active research area with numerous commercial and law enforcement applications. In this paper different Pseudo 2-dimension Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are introduced for a face recognition showing performances reasonably fast for binary images. The proposed P2-D HMMs are made up of five levels of states, one for each significant facial region in which the input frontal images are sequenced: forehead, eyes, nose, mouth and chin. Each of P2-D HMMs has been trained by coefficients of an artificial neural network used to compress a bitmap image in order to represent it with a number of coefficients that is smaller than the total number of pixels. All the P2-D HMMs, applied to the input set consisting of the Olivetti Research Laboratory face database combined to others photos, have achieved good rates of recognition and, in particular, the structure 3-6-6-6-3 has achieved a rate of recognition equal to 100%.
