This paper proposes a new face recognition method based on mutual projection of feature distributions. The proposed method introduces a new robust measurement between two feature distributions. This measurement is computed by a harmonic mean of two distance values obtained by projection of each mean value into the opposite feature distribution. The proposed method does not require eigenvalue analysis of the two subspaces. This method was applied to face recognition task of temporal image sequence. Experimental results demonstrate that the computational cost was improved without degradation of identification performance in comparison with the conventional method.
