Abstract

Abstract

In order to address the non-rigid deformation (e.g., misalignment, poses, and expression) of facial images, this paper proposes a novel sparse representation face recognition algorithm using Dense Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) Feature Alignment (DSFA). The whole method consists of two steps: first, DSFA is employed as a generic transformation to roughly align training and testing samples; and then, input facial images are identified based on proposed sparse representation model. A novel coarse-to-fine scheme is designed to accelerate facial image alignment. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over other methods on ORL, AR, and LFW datasets. The proposed approach improves 4.3% in terms of recognition accuracy and runs nearly 6 times faster than previous sparse approximation methods on three datasets.
