Multilayer neural network using a modified beackpropagation learning algorithm was introduced to achieve automatic identification of different types of aircraft in a variety of 3-D orientations. A 3-D shape of an aircraft can be described by a library of 2-D images corresponding to the projected views of an aircraft. From each 2-D binary aircraft image we extracted 2-D invariant (L, Φ) feature vector to be used for training neural network aircraft classifier. Simulations concerning the neural network classification rate was compared using nearest-neighbor classfier (NNC) which has been widely served as a performance benchmark. And we also introduced reliability measure of the designed neural network classifier.

Most face recognition systems are based on 2D images and applied in many applications. However, it is difficult to recognize a face when the pose varies severely. Therefore, head pose estimation is an inevitable procedure to improve recognition rate when a face is not frontal. In this paper, we propose a novel head pose estimation algorithm for 3D face recognition. Given the 3D range image of an unknown face as an input, we automatically extract facial feature points based on the face curvature. We propose an Error Compensated Singular Value Decomposition (EC-SVD) method based on the extracted facial feature points. We obtain the initial rotation angle based on the SVD method, and perform a refinement procedure to compensate for remained errors. The proposed algorithm is performed by exploiting the extracted facial features in the normaized 3D face space. In addition, we propose a 3D nearest neighbor classifier in order to select face candidates for 3D face recognition. From simulation results, we proved the efficiency and validity of the proposed algorithm.

The $(L,\psi)$ feature description on the binary boundary air craft image is introduced of classifying 3-D object (aircraft) identification. Three types for associative matrix memories are employed and tested for their classification performance. The fast association involved in these memories can be implemented using a parallel optical matrix-vector operation. Two associative memories are based on pseudoinverse solutions and the third one is interoduced as a paralell version of a nearest-neighbor classifier. Detailed simulation results for each associative processor are provided.

The aim of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of combining three popular tools used in pattern recognition, which are the Active Appearance Model (AAM), the two-dimensional discrete cosine transform (2D-DCT), and Kernel Fisher Analysis (KFA), for face recognition across age variations. For this purpose, we first used AAM to generate an AAM-based face representation; then, we applied 2D-DCT to get the descriptor of the image; and finally, we used a multiclass KFA for dimension reduction. Classification was made through a K-nearest neighbor classifier, based on Euclidean distance. Our experimental results on face images, which were obtained from the publicly available FG-NET face database, showed that the proposed descriptor worked satisfactorily for both face identification and verification across age progression.
