Fuzzy-neural face recognition

A face recognition method identifies each of M persons based on a plurality of feature vectors extracted from a face image of each person, wherein each of the feature vectors contains N feature elements, and calculates a minimum, a maximum and a medium feature element value for each of the N feature elements. Then, fuzzification functions for each of the N feature elements are generated 110 based on the minimum, the maximum and medium feature element values and each of the feature vectors is fuzzified 120. A neural network 130 is trained by using the fuzzified feature vectors to thereby make the neural network identify a person corresponding to a fuzzified feature vector.

Biometric sensor

A biometric sensor (50) comprises a detector array (52) and a planar slab waveguide (56). Diode laser arrays (58, 60) are arranged to couple light into the planar slab waveguide. A ridge of an individual's fingerprint or palmprint, when in contact with the planar slab waveguide at a point of contact therewith, causes a fraction of the light within the waveguide to become unguided at the point of contact, said fraction being detected by the detector array. The sensor has reduced complexity compared to similar sensors employing fibre-optic faceplates and also provides for removal of noise in fingerprint images formed by the sensor, said noise arising from accumulation of dirt or grease on the sensor. An interference filter (55) acts to reduce the solid angle of diverted light arriving at the CMOS detector (52) improving resolution.
