Abstract
In this paper, a simplified 2D second-order hidden Markov model (HMM) with tied state mixtures is applied to the face recognition problem. The mixture of the model states is fully-tied across all models for lower complexity. Tying HMM parameters is a well-known solution for the problem of insufficient training data leading to nonrobust estimation. We show that parameter tying in HMM also enhances the resolution in the case of small model. The performance of the proposed 2D HMM tied-mixture system is studied for the face recognition problem and the expected improved robustness is confirmed.
