Abstract

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.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A demo code is available on the website: https://github.com/phuselab/SSPP-face_recognition.

  2. 2.

    Strictly speaking the \(\ell _0\)-norm is not actually a norm, it is a cardinality function counting the number of nonzero elements in a vector.

  3. 3.

    For a given of vector \(\alpha \), the support \({{\mathrm{ supp}}}(\alpha )\) is the index pool of nonzero entries of \(\alpha \).

  4. 4.

    Here we have simplified the notation to refer to the sparse solutions \(\alpha _{l,f}\) to \(\alpha _j\), knowing that the couple set (lf) has cardinality d.
