Description
The human face is perhaps the most familiar and easily recognized object in the world, yet both its three-dimensional shape and its two-dimensional images are complex and hard to characterize. This book ties together applied mathematics, applied statistics, and engineering by applying general theories and concepts to the specific and familiar example of the human face. The authors include fully worked out examples of two approaches to face recognition, demonstrating the power of pattern theory and suggesting interesting new mathematics in the two-and three-dimensional aspects of the face.
First Sentence
The term "pattern theory" was introduced by Ulf Grenander in the 1970s (Grenander 76-81) as a name for a field of applied mathematics which gave a theoretical setting for a large number of related ideas, techniques and results from fields such as computer vision (D. Geman 90), speech recognition (Rabiner 90, 93), statistical pattern recognition (Ripley 96), neural nets (Hertz 91) and parts of artificial intelligence (Pearl 88).
