Abstract

A set of so-called cortical images, motivated by the function of simple cells in the primary visual cortex of mammals, is computed from each of two input images and an image pyramid is constructed for each cortical image. The two sets of cortical image pyramids are matched synchronously and an optimal mapping of the one image onto the other image is determined. The method was implemented on the Connection Machine CM-5 of the University of Groningen in the data-parallel programming model and applied to the problem of face recognition.

These comparisons are primarily empirical, and concentrate on the accuracy, reliability, and density of the velocity measurements; they show that performance can differ significantly among the techniques the authors implemented.

A biologically motivated compute intensive approach to computer vision is developed and applied to the problem of face recognition based on the use of two-dimensional Gabor functions that fit the receptive fields of simple cells in the primary visual cortex of mammals.

A vector field, similar to the optical flow computed between successive frames of an image sequence, which maps optimally one face image onto another face image is computed and used to quantify the dissimilarity between the two images.
