Vision Recognition using Discriminant Sparse Optimization Learning
Nov 19, 2017
To better select the correct training sample and obtain the robust representation of the query sample, this paper proposes a discriminant-based sparse optimization learning model. This learning model integrates discriminant and sparsity together. Based on this model, we then propose a classifier called locality-based discriminant sparse representation (LDSR). Because discriminant can help to increase the difference of samples in different classes and to decrease the difference of samples within the same class, LDSR can obtain better sparse coefficients and constitute a better sparse representation for classification. In order to take advantages of kernel techniques, discriminant and sparsity, we further propose a nonlinear classifier called kernel locality-based discriminant sparse representation (KLDSR). Experiments on several well-known databases prove that the performance of LDSR and KLDSR is better than that of several state-of-the-art methods including deep learning based methods.
Discriminant Projection Representation-based Classification for Vision Recognition
Nov 19, 2017
Representation-based classification methods such as sparse representation-based classification (SRC) and linear regression classification (LRC) have attracted a lot of attentions. In order to obtain the better representation, a novel method called projection representation-based classification (PRC) is proposed for image recognition in this paper. PRC is based on a new mathematical model. This model denotes that the 'ideal projection' of a sample point $x$ on the hyper-space $H$ may be gained by iteratively computing the projection of $x$ on a line of hyper-space $H$ with the proper strategy. Therefore, PRC is able to iteratively approximate the 'ideal representation' of each subject for classification. Moreover, the discriminant PRC (DPRC) is further proposed, which obtains the discriminant information by maximizing the ratio of the between-class reconstruction error over the within-class reconstruction error. Experimental results on five typical databases show that the proposed PRC and DPRC are effective and outperform other state-of-the-art methods on several vision recognition tasks.
Color Face Recognition using High-Dimension Quaternion-based Adaptive Representation
Nov 19, 2017
Recently, quaternion collaborative representation-based classification (QCRC) and quaternion sparse representation-based classification (QSRC) have been proposed for color face recognition. They can obtain correlation information among different color channels. However, their performance is unstable in different conditions. For example, QSRC performs better than than QCRC on some situations but worse on other situations. To benefit from quaternion-based $e_2$-norm minimization in QCRC and quaternion-based $e_1$-norm minimization in QSRC, we propose the quaternion-based adaptive representation (QAR) that uses a quaternion-based $e_p$-norm minimization ($1 \le p \le 2$) for color face recognition. To obtain the high dimension correlation information among different color channels, we further propose the high-dimension quaternion-based adaptive representation (HD-QAR). The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed QAR and HD-QAR achieve better recognition rates than QCRC, QSRC and several state-of-the-art methods.
