Abstract

In this paper, a new method for recognizing the facial expressions by utilizing the Hopfield model is presented.
In this method, a Hopfield memory model with recall capability is constructed. When a facial image is given to the Hopfield memory as an input, the all units which are at the stable states yield its associate recall pattern. Based on the composed Hopfield memory model, the relation between the reliability of the recalls and the number o f faces which are memorized in the Hopfield memory is analyzed. Based on the performance of the Hopfield memory model, the scheme for the facial expressions recognition combined with the pattern matching is presented. The experimental results are shown and analyzed.
