Local Spatial Information

We have proposed a patch-based principal component analysis (PCA) method to deal with face recognition. Many PCA-based methods for face recognition utilize the correlation between pixels, columns, or rows. But the local spatial information is not utilized or not fully utilized in these methods. We believe that patches are more meaningful basic units for face recognition than pixels, columns, or rows, since faces are discerned by patches containing eyes and noses. To calculate the correlation between patches, face images are divided into patches and then these patches are converted to column vectors which would be combined into a new “image matrix.” By replacing the images with the new “image matrix” in the two-dimensional PCA framework, we directly calculate the correlation of the divided patches by computing the total scatter. By optimizing the total scatter of the projected samples, we obtain the projection matrix for feature extraction. Finally, we use the nearest neighbor classifier. Extensive experiments on the ORL and FERET face database are reported to illustrate the performance of the patch-based PCA. Our method promotes the accuracy compared to one-dimensional PCA, two-dimensional PCA, and two-directional two-dimensional PCA.

The Matrix

In this paper, a matrix based feature extraction and measurement method, i.e.: multi-column principle component analysis (MCPCA) is used to directly and effectively extract features from the matrix. We analyze the advantages of MCPCA over the conventional principal component analysis (PCA) and two-dimensional PCA (2DPCA), and we have successfully applied it into face image recognition. Extensive face recognition experiments illustrate that the proposed method obtains high accuracy, and it is more robust than previous conventional face recognition methods.
