Abstract(in English) This paper proposes an image recognition technique based on separable lattice 2-D hidden Markov models (SL2D-HMMs) with the variational Bayesian method. SL2D-HMMs have been proposed to reduce the effect of geometric variations, e.g., size and location. The maximum likelihood criterion had previously been used for training SL2D-HMMs. However, since it is difficult to use sufficient amounts of training data in many image recognition tasks, and it suffered from the over-fitting problem. A higher generalization ability based on model marginalization is expected by applying the Bayesian criterion and useful prior information on model parameters can be utilized as prior distributions. Experiments on face recognition indicated that the proposed method improved image recognition.
