Abstract
A face recognition method is provided to use sparse representation and regularized least squares-based classification on a computing device. The method includes obtaining an image to be recognized as a test sample y and a set of training images of certain subjects as training sample matrix T, obtaining a sparse representation of the test sample and the training samples including an initial estimation of a sparse vector a, and constructing a new face dictionary comprising training samples with non-zero corresponding coefficients in the sparse vector a for the initial estimation. The method also includes obtaining new coefficients by solving a regularized least squares problem based on the constructed new face dictionary, and determining a face identity of the test sample based on minimum class residual calculated by using the new coefficients.
