A Correspondence-Based Neural Model for Face Recognition

  • Philipp Wolfrum
Chapter
Part of the Studies in Computational Intelligence book series (SCI, volume 316)

Abstract

In this chapter we develop a correspondence-basedmodel for object recognition.We will focus here on the question how correspondence finding can be realized neurally, using very simple assumptions for the underlying routing structures (amore realistic treatment of these will be given in Chapter 4).
