Pose-robust face recognition with Huffman-LBP enhanced by Divide-and-Rule strategy

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel LBP-like feature is proposed which takes the contribution of contrast value into consideration by Huffman coding.

• The Divide-and-Rule strategy is applied to both face representation and classification with the goal of improving the robustness to pose variation.

• Face representation via Region Selection Factor (RSF) is suggested in our method to treat the face images of different poses specifically rather than generally.

• In order to further make the method tolerate the rotations, we perform the face classification at the patch-level using a patchbased SRC fusion classification strategy.
