Abstract

Elastic Bunch Graph Matching (EBGM) is regarded as a successful method to perform recognition on 2D face images. It employs an indiscriminate, part-separated aggregation method to conclude the overall recognition from local recognition results on face parts. Supported by the experimental evidence from cognitive research, we consider the human face recognition is an aggregation process that combines the local recognitions together in a inter-dependent and collective manner rather than a indiscriminate and part-separated process. This paper presents a improved EBGM face recognition system with the use of fuzzy fusion techniques (fuzzy measure and fuzzy integral) as the collective aggregation method. Experimental result shows the EBGM with fuzzy fusion produces better recognition performance over the original EBGM.
