  • ABSTRACT
  • Sparsity preserving projections (SPP) rooted in com- pressive sensing has already been successfully applied in face recognition. But we can only get good recognition results on a large dataset by SPP. It is difficult to get similar high recognition rate on a small dataset. However, in many practical applications, we have to use SPP on small-scale datasets. In order to obtain a better recognition rate on a small number of samples, we pro- posed a new face recognition method integrating Gabor trans- form and SPP (GTSPP). In the new method, we firstly carry out Gabor transform on every face sample at a combination of dif- ferent frequency and direction. Then we constitute a new dataset that consists directly of the coefficients of Gabor transform at each combination of frequency and direction. The new dataset is larger than the original dataset. Finally, SPP is used to recognize human identity on the new larger dataset. We conduct experi- ments on publicly available dataset (Yale and AR) to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method and explain why it has a higher recognition rate than SPP.
