Sparse Representation Frontal Facial Recognition Algorithm Based on Eigenface

Abstract

Face recognition continues to be a hot topic in pattern recognition and computer vision recent years. Meantime, sparse representation is a new technique utilizing compressed sensing method applied in pattern recognition research recent years. This paper comparison with PCA and SP for face recognition, makes some improvement on great performance eigenface algorithm, using sparse representation with eigenface space to achieved better result. Finally, the proposed algorithm based on eigenface sparse recognition shows that of better result.
