A face can conceptually be represented as a collection of sparsely distributed parts: eyes, nose, mouth etc.We use Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) to yield sparse representation of localized features to represent distributed parts over a human face.

Further, we compare the results of NMF with other common face recognition methods.
