Description
This article discusses the use of pattern theory in the analysis of the human face. It provides two methods for face recognition, one using a mathematical approach and the other using a statistical approach. The article also discusses the potential applications of pattern theory in computer science.
Ties together applied mathematics, applied statistics, and engineering by applying general theories and concepts to the specific and familiar example of the human face. Includes fully worked out examples of two approaches to face recognition, demonstrating the power of pattern theory and suggesting interesting new mathematics.
