- *Abstract
-
Human faces are arguably the most extensively studied object in computer-based recognition -- due in part to the many important applications in this field as well as the realization that challenges associated with face recognition are representative of challenges in generalized object recognition. A central issue in research of object recognition systems is the question of which features of an object are most important for recognition. The dominant approaches are based techniques such as Eigenfaces, Fisherfaces, LaplacianFaces, and variants. However, with so many proposed features, there is a lack of guidelines for practitioners, and to-date, face recognition methods cannot achieve satisfactory results compared to human performance.
To address these challenges, researchers at UC Berkeley have examined this topic from the new context of the role of feature selection in face recognition from the perspective of sparse representation. This approach has led to an image-based recognition system that outperforms state-of-the-art alternatives. In testing, this approach achieve 96.5% recognition rate using 120 Eigenfaces on the entire Extended Yale B database. Other unconventional features such as severely down-sampled images and completely random projections performed equally well. For example, the holistic features given by images down-sampled to just 12 x 10 pixels achieved 92.4% recognition rate on the same database.
