In order to overcome the drawback of TVQI and to utilize the property of dimensionality increasing techniques, a novel model for Kernel TV-based Quotient Image employing Gabor analysis is proposed and applied to face recognition with only one sample per subject. To deal with illumination outliers, an enhanced TV-based quotient image (ETVQI) model is first adopted. Then for preprocessed images by ETVQI, a bank of Gabor filters is built to extract features at specified scales and orientations. Lastly, KPCA is introduced to extract final high-order and nonlinear features of extracted Gabor features. According to experiments on the CAS-PEAL face database, our model could outperform Gabor-based KPCA, TVQI and Gabor-based TVQI when they face most outliers (illumination, expression, masking etc.).
