INVARIANT FACE RECOGNITION IN A NETWORK OF CORTICAL COLUMNS

Abstract

We describe a neural network for invariant object recognition. The network is generative in the sense that it explicitly represents both the recognized object and the extrinsic properties to which it is invariant (especially object position). The model is biologically plausible, being formulated as a neuronal system composed of cortical columns. At the same time it has competitive face recognition performance.
