Abstract

In this paper, we proposed an autoassociative Radial Basis Function (RBF) network and applied it with a modular structure to human face recognition. To capture the substantial facial features and reduce computational complexity, we propose to use wavelet transform (WT) to decompose face images and choose the lowest resolution subband coefficients for face representation. Results indicate that our scheme yields accurate recognition on the widely used XM2VTS face database and Olivetti Research Laboratory (ORL) face database.
