This paper proposes a novel algorithm for feature extraction for face recognition, namely the rearranged modular two-dimensional locality preserving projection (Rm2DLPP). In the proposed algorithm, the original images are first divided into modular blocks, then the subblocks are rearranged to form two-dimensional matrices and finally the two-dimensional locality preserving projection algorithm is applied directly on the arranged matrices. The advantage of the Rm2DLPP algorithm is that it can utilize the local block features and global spatial structures of 2D face images simultaneously. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated and compared with other face recognition methods on the ORL, AR and FERET databases. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed approach.

In this paper, we propose a new face recognition approach for image feature extraction named two-dimensional locality discriminant preserving projections (2DLDPP). Two-dimensional locality preserving projections (2DLPP) can direct on 2D image matrixes. So, it can make better recognition rate than locality preserving projection. We investigate its more. The 2DLDPP is to use modified maximizing margin criterion (MMMC) in 2DLPP and set the parameter optimized to maximize the between-class distance while minimize the within-class distance. Extensive experiments are performed on ORL face database and FERET face database. The 2DLDPP method achieves better face recognition performance than PCA, 2DPCA, LPP and 2DLPP.

To solve the matching problem of the elements in different data collections, an improved coupled metric learning approach is proposed. First, we improved the supervised locality preserving projection algorithm and added the within-class and between-class information of the improved algorithm to coupled metric learning, so a novel coupled metric learning method is proposed. Furthermore, we extended this algorithm to nonlinear space, and the kernel coupled metric learning method based on supervised locality preserving projection is proposed. In kernel coupled metric learning approach, two elements of different collections are mapped to the unified high dimensional feature space by kernel function, and then generalized metric learning is performed in this space. Experiments based on Yale and CAS-PEAL-R1 face databases demonstrate that the proposed kernel coupled approach performs better in low-resolution and fuzzy face recognition and can reduce the computing time; it is an effective metric method.

This paper proposes a novel algorithm for image feature extraction, namely, the two-directional two-dimensional locality preserving projection, ((2D)2LPP), which can find an embedding from two directions that not only preserves local information and detect the intrinsic image manifold structure, but also combines the both information between rows and those between columns simultaneously. We also combine the advantages of (2D)2LPP and LDA, and propose a new framework for feature extraction as two-stage: “(2D)2LPP+LDA.” The LDA step is performed to further reduce the dimension of feature matrix in the (2D)2LPP subspace. Experimental results on ORL face databases demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Face images undergo considerable amount of variations in pose, facial expression and illumination condition. This large variation in facial appearances of the same individual makes most Existing Face Recognition Systems (E-FRS) lack strong discrimination ability and timely inefficient for face representation due to holistic feature extraction technique used. In this paper, a novel face recognition framework, which is an extension of the standard (PCA) and (ICA) denoted as two-dimensional Principal Component Analysis (2D-PCA) and two-dimensional Independent Component Analysis (2D-ICA) respectively is proposed. The choice of 2D was advantageous as image covariance matrix can be constructed directly using original image matrices. The face images used in this study were acquired from the publicly available ORL and AR Face database. The features belonging to similar class were grouped and correlation calculated in the same order. Each technique was decomposed into different components by employing multi-dimensional grouped empirical mode decomposition using Gaussian function. The nearest neighbor (NN) classifier is used for classification. The results of evaluation showed that the 2D-PCA method using ORL database produced RA of 92.5%, PCA produced RA of 75.00%, ICA produced RA of 77.5%, 2D-ICA produced RA of 96.00%. However, 2D-PCA methods using AR database produced RA of 73.56%, PCA produced RA of 62.41%, ICA produced RA of 66.20%, 2D-ICA method produced RA of 77.45%. This study revealed that the developed face recognition framework algorithm achieves an improvement of 18.5% and 11.25% for the ORL and AR databases respectively as against PCA and ICA feature extraction techniques.
