Extracting sparse error of robust PCA for face recognition in the presence of varying illumination and occlusion

作者:

Highlights:

• This paper is motivated by robust principal component analysis (RPCA).

• We exploit the sparse error component to perform face recognition.

• We define two descriptors (i.e., sparsity and smoothness) to represent the sparse error image.

• We present the weighted based method and ratio based method to classify face images.

• Our method shows good performance on public face databases with illumination and occlusion.
