Abstract

We consider the problem of representing individual faces by maximum L₁-norm projection subspaces calculated from available face-image ensembles. In contrast to conventional L₂-norm subspaces, L₁-norm subspaces are seen to offer significant robustness to image variations, disturbances, and rank selection. Face recognition becomes then the problem of associating a new unknown face image to the “closest,” in some sense, L₁ subspace in the database. In this work, we also introduce the concept of adaptively allocating the available number of principal components to different face image classes, subject to a given total number/budget of principal components. Experimental studies included in this paper illustrate and support the theoretical developments.
