A system for automatically detecting and recognizing the identity of a deformable object such
as a human face, within an arbitrary image scene. The system comprises an object detector
implemented as a probabilistic DBNN, for determining whether the object is within the
arbitrary image scene and a feature localizer also implemented as a probabilistic DBNN, for
determining the position of an identifying feature on the object such as the eyes. A feature
extractor is coupled to the feature localizer and receives coordinates sent from the feature …
