Title
Semi-supervised local ridge regression for local matching based face recognition.
Abstract
In this paper, a novel algorithm named Semi-supervised Local Ridge Regression (SSLRR) is proposed for local matching based face recognition. Compared with other algorithms, the proposed algorithm possesses two advantages. Firstly, SSLRR utilizes a multiple graph based semi-supervised technique to propagate the class labels of labeled samples to the unlabeled ones. Thus, the information of both labeled and unlabeled data can be employed in our algorithm to improve its performance. Secondly, unlike most local matching based face recognition algorithms which assume different sub-images from the same face are independent, an adaptive non-negative weight vector is introduced into our SSLRR to combine the Laplacian matrices obtained by different sub-images. Therefore, the latent complementary information of multiple sub-patterns from the same face image can be taken into account. Moreover, a simple yet efficient iterative update scheme is also proposed to solve our SSLRR model. Extensive experiments are performed on five standard face databases (Yale, Extended YaleB, AR, CMU PIE and LFW) to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. Experimental results show that SSLRR obtains better recognition performance than some other state-of-the-art approaches.
