We describe the mathematical model of the PCNN and the basic concept of Tsallis entropy in order to find a recognition method for isolated objects. Experiments show that the novel feature is translation and scale independent, while rotation independence is a bit weak at diagonal angles of 45° and 135°. Parameters of the application on face recognition are acquired by bacterial chemotaxis optimization (BCO), and the highest classification rate is 72.5%, which demonstrates its acceptable performance and potential value. Keywords: Pattern recognition; feature extraction; pulse coupled neural network; Tsallis entropy. 1. Introduction Face recognition is a hot problem in image processing [1]. It has many potential applications, for example, for security systems, man-machine interfaces, and searches of video database or the WWW. Therefore, many researchers are actively working in this filed and many face recognition methods are proposed. Since face image data are usually high-dimensional and large-scale, it is crucial to design an effective feature extraction method. Researchers have developed many algorithms, such as the Eigenface method [2], the Fisherface method [3], the direct LDA method [4], the uncorrelated optimal discrimination vector (UODV) method [5], the Kernel PCA method [6], etc. However, such m
