Pattern recognition using the fuzzy Sugeno integral for response integration in modular neural networks

We describe in this paper a new approach for pattern recognition using modular neural networks with a fuzzy logic method for response integration. We proposed a new architecture for modular neural networks for achieving pattern recognition in the particular case of human fingerprints. Also, the method for achieving response integration is based on the fuzzy Sugeno integral. Response integration is required to combine the outputs of all the modules in the modular network. We have applied the new approach for fingerprint recognition with a real database of fingerprints from students of our institution.
