Face recognition (FR) is an active yet challenging topic in computer vision applications. As a powerful tool to represent high dimensional data, recently sparse representation bas...
This paper develops an unsupervised discriminant projection (UDP) technique for feature extraction. UDP takes the local and non-local information into account, seeking to find a p...
Many image formation processes are complex interactions of several sub-processes and the analysis of the resulting images requires often to separate the influence of these sub-pr...
All the traditional PCA-based and LDA-based methods are based on the analysis of vectors. So, it is difficult to evaluate the covariance matrices in such a high-dimensional vector ...
This paper develops a classification algorithm in the framework of spectral graph theory where the underlying manifold of a high dimensional data set is described by a graph. The...
