Abstract

The problem of automatic image recognition based on the minimum information discrimination principle is formulated and solved. Discrimination calculation in the Kullback–Leibler information metric based on colour histograms comparison is proposed. It’s combined with a method of directed enumeration of the set of alternatives as opposed to the method of complete enumeration of competing hypotheses. Results of an experimental study of the discrimination in the problem of face images recognition are presented. It is shown that the proposed algorithm is characterized by increased accuracy and reliability of automatic image recognition.
