Sumario:The sparse representation-based classification (SRC) has been proven to be a robust face recognition method. However, its computational complexity is very high due to solving a complex l(1)-minimization problem. To improve the calculation efficiency, we propose a novel face recognition method, called sparse representation-based classification on k-nearest subspace (SRC-KNS). Our method first exploits the distance between the test image and the subspace of each individual class to determine the k nearest subspaces and then performs SRC on the k selected classes. Actually, SRC-KNS is able to reduce the scale of the sparse representation problem greatly and the computation to determine the k nearest subspaces is quite simple. Therefore, SRC-KNS has a much lower computational complexity than the original SRC. In order to well recognize the occluded face images, we propose the modular SRC-KNS. For this modular method, face images are partitioned into a number of blocks first and then we propose an indicator to remove the contaminated blocks and choose the k nearest subspaces. Finally, SRC is used to classify the occluded test sample in the new feature space. Compared to the approach used in the original SRC work, our modular SRC-KNS can greatly reduce the computational load. A number of face recognition experiments show that our methods have five times speed-up at least compared to the original SRC, while achieving comparable or even better recognition rates.
