Abstract

Face recognition performance is highly affected by image corruption, shadowing and various face expressions. In this paper, an efficient incremental face recognition algorithm, robust to image occlusion, is proposed. This algorithm is based on robust alignment by sparse and low-rank decomposition for linearly correlated images, extended to be incrementally applied for large face data sets. Based on the latter, incremental robust principal component analysis (PCA) is used to recover the intrinsic data of a sequence of images of one subject. A new similarity metric is defined for face recognition and classification. Experiments on five databases, based on four different criteria, illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method. We show that our method outperforms other existing incremental PCA approaches such as incremental singular value decomposition, add block singular value decomposition and candid covariance-free incremental PCA in terms of recognition rate under occlusions, facial expressions and image perspectives.
