Fast Image Recognition based on Independent Component Analysis and Extreme Learning Machine

Abstract

Nowadays, Image Recognition Has Become a Highly Active Research Topic in Cognitive Computation Community, Due to its Many Potential Applications. Generally, the Image Recognition Task Involves Two Subtasks: Image Representation and Image Classification. Most Feature Extraction Approaches for Image Representation Developed So Far Regard Independent Component Analysis (Ica) as One of the Essential Means. However, Ica Has Been Hampered by its Extremely Expensive Computational Cost in Real-Time Implementation. to Address This Problem, a Fast Cognitive Computational Scheme for Image Recognition is Presented in This Paper, Which Combines Ica and the Extreme Learning Machine (Elm) Algorithm. It Tries to Solve the Image Recognition Problem at a Much Faster Speed by using Elm Not Only in Image Classification But Also in Feature Extraction for Image Representation. as an Example, Our Proposed Approach is Applied to the Face Image Recognition with Detailed Analysis. Firstly, Common Feature Hypothesis is Introduced to Extract the Common Visual Features from Universal Images by the Traditional Ica Model in the Offline Recognition Process, and Then Elm is Used to Simulate Ica for the Purpose of Facial Feature Extraction in the Online Recognition Process. Lastly, the Resulting Independent Feature Representation of the Face Images Extracted by Elm Rather Than Ica Will Be Fed into the Elm Classifier, Which is Composed of Numerous Single Hidden Layer Feed-Forward Networks. Experimental Results on Yale Face Database and Mnist Digit Database Have Shown the Good Performance of Our Proposed Approach, Which Could Be Comparable to the State-Of-The-Art Techniques at a Much Faster Speed. © 2014 Springer Science+business Media New York.
