本文的题目是基于分形和遗传算法的人脸识别方法，对有限人群提出一种采用分形特征和遗传聚类的识别方法: 将图像分成很多小区域, 分别计算各个区域的分形特征, 以充分利用图像二维信息 同一个模式有多个样本, 通过遗传算法进行聚类以得到最优解实现不变性识别. 最后采用ORL 人脸图像库的一组图像对比了新方法、本征脸法和自联想神经网络方法, 结果表明该方法的识别率, 与本征脸法相似, 比自联想神经网络高.-The title of this article is based on fractal and genetic algorithms for face recognition method, a crowd of limited use of fractal characteristics and the identification of genetic clustering methods: the image is divided into many small regions, each region were calculated fractal characteristics, to take full advantage of two-dimensional image information with a model for a number of samples, through the genetic clustering algorithm in order to obtain the optimal solution to achieve invariant recognition. Finally, using ORL face image database of a group of image contrast of the new methods, eigenface law and auto-associative neural network methods, results show that the method of recognition rate, with the eigenface method is similar to auto-associative neural network than high.
