Single Sample Face Recognition by Sparse Recovery of Deep-Learned LDA Features

摘要

Single Sample Per Person (SSPP) Face Recognition is receiving a significant attention due to the challenges it opens especially when conceived for real applications under unconstrained environments. In this paper we propose a solution combining the effectiveness of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) feature characterization, the discriminative capability of linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and the efficacy of a sparsity based classifier built on the k-LiMapS algorithm. Experiments on the public LFW dataset prove the method robustness to solve the SSPP problem, outperforming several state-of-the-art methods.
