Face Recognition Using Self-Organizing Maps
Qiu Chen, Koji Kotani, Feifei Lee, Tadahiro Ohmi · InTech eBooks · 2010
In this chapter, various face recognition approaches using Self-Organizing Map are reviewed. The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) provides an orderly mapping of an input highdimensional space in much lower dimensional spaces, so it can play the role of dimension reduction and feature extraction for face recognition algorithm. Furthermore, because it can provides partial invariance to translation, rotation, scale, and deformation in the image
