Background to the Study
• Recent Computer Image Identification Work
– With cheetah and zebra
Background to the Study
• How this project fits in:
– Builds on previous work
– Computer-based vs manual process
– Hair structure patterns vs skin patterns
Objectives of the Study
• To investigate:
– Image pattern recognition techniques
– Apply the techniques in hair pattern identification
• Resulting in a system that will:
– Report probable identities of hair patterns in images
– Be accurate enough to supplement manual efforts

Approach to the Study:
Implementation
• Using ImageJ
– Image manipulation application
– Public domain application written in Java
• Plugins easily implemented in Java
Stage1: Sensor
• Producing input for the process
• Image manipulation based stage
• Images sourced from Zoology Department

Stage 2: Feature Generation
• Identify features from patterns
– Hair patterns are feature vectors
• Define feature representation
• Larger than necessary number created
Stage 3:Feature Selection
• Selection of “best” features
• Considerations
– Computational complexity
– Capability of the classifier stage
• Produce training patterns (sets)
– Used in classifier design
Stage 4:Classifier design
• Place patterns into appropriate classes
• Linear and Non-Linear Classifiers
– E.g. neural network and perceptron
• Artificial Intelligence based stage
Stage 5: System Evaluation
• Assess Performance
– Use known and unknown patterns
– Compare with manual system
– Field trip
