Abstract:

This paper is concerned with face recognition using the hidden Markov model with 2D-discrete cosine transformation observations. The first part of the paper mainly discusses the influence of sampling parameter selection on model training and recognition efficiency and proposes method to increases the model efficiency through selecting optimal combinations of input parameters. In the second part of the paper, we choose the optimal parameters as input data standard for image matching and extend Viterbi algorithm by setting thresholds, the recognition time is reduced by 12.4% on average.
