Abstract
In this paper, we address the problem of robust face recognition using single sample per person. Given only one training image per subject of interest, our proposed method is able to recognize query images with illumination or expression changes, or even the corrupted ones due to occlusion. In order to model the above intra-class variations, we advocate the use of external data (i.e., images of subjects not of interest) for learning an exemplar-based dictionary. This dictionary provides auxiliary yet representative information for handling intra-class variation, while the gallery set containing one training image per class preserves separation between different subjects for recognition purposes. Our experiments on two face datasets confirm the effectiveness and robustness of our approach, which is shown to outperform state-of-the-art sparse representation based methods.
