Abstract

Based on non-linear Volterra kernels mapping and direct discrimination analysis(DD-Volterra), a novel face recognition algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the original image is segmented into specific sub blocks and seeks functional mapping using truncated Volterra kernels. Next, simultaneous diagonalization obtain Volterra kernel optimal projection matrix. This matrix can discard useless information that exist in the null space of the inter-class. Also, it can reserve discriminative information that exist in the null space of the intra-class. Finally, in the test, each block of the test image is classified separately, voting strategy and nearest neighbor classifier algorithm are used for classification. Experiments show that the proposed DD-Volterra method has better performance for it is more effective than Volterrafaces during the extracting facial feature stage.
