Abstract
Levenberg-Marquardt method is a very useful tool for solving nonlinear curve fitting problems; while it is also a very promising alternative of weight adjustment in feed forward neural networks. Forcing the Hessian matrix to stay positive definite, the parameter \( \uplambda \) also turns the algorithm into the well-known variations: steepest-descent and Gauss-Newton. Given the computation time, the results achieved by these methods surely differ while minimizing the sum of squares of errors and with an acceptable accuracy rate in skin tissue recognition. Therefore in this paper, we propose the implementation of these variations in network training by a set of tissue samples borrowed from SFA human skin database. The RGB images taken from the set are converted into YCbCr color space and the networks are individually trained by these methods to create weight arrays minimizing the error squares between the pixel values and the function output. Consisting of hands on computer keyboards, the images are analyzed to find skin tissues for achieving high accuracy with low computation time and for comparison of the methods.
