Abstract

In this paper, a new approach to face recognition is proposed. The knowledge represented by fuzzy IF-THEN rules, with type-1 and type-2 fuzzy sets, are employed in order to generate the linguistic description of human faces in digital pictures. Then, an image recognition system can recognize and retrieve a picture (image of a face) or classify face images based on the linguistic description. Such a system is explainable – it can explain its decision based on the fuzzy rules.
