Abstract
A novel method for face recognition based on some biological aspects of infant vision is proposed in this paper. The biological hypotheses of this method are based on the role of the response to low frequencies at early stages, and some conjectures concerning how an infant detects subtle features (stimulating points) from a face. In order to recognize a face from different images of it we make use of a bank of dynamic associative memories (DAM). As the infant vision responds to low frequencies of the signal, a low-filter is first used to remove high frequency components from the image. We then detect subtle features in the image by means of a random feature selection detector. At last, the network of DAMs is fed with this information for training and recognition. To test the accuracy of the proposal a benchmark of faces is used.
