Abstract

We present an automatic face identification system using an unsupervised optimal clustering algorithm (OCA)-based RBF network. In this present system, we propose a completely unsupervised clustering algorithm for training of the RBF network in which the system automatically searches for suitable threshold to perform natural clustering. This system performs the identity of a person irrespective of different facial expressions, poses, and partial occlusions. Experimental results show that the performance of the system in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F-score is moderately high. At the same time, the total learning time as well as performance evaluation time is moderately low.
