Abstract

Neural networks have shown good results for detecting of a certain pattern in a given image. In our previous papers [1-6], a fast algorithm for object/face detection was presented. Such algorithm was designed based on cross correlation in the frequency domain between the input image and the weights of neural networks. Our previous work also solved the problem of local subimage normalization in the frequency domain. In this paper, the effect of image normalization on the speed up ratio of pattern detection is presented. Simulation results show that local subimage normalization through weight normalization is faster than subimage normalization in the spatial domain. Moreover, the overall speed up ratio of the detection process is increased as the normalization of weights is done off line.
