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 f
