Multi-view face recognition via joint dynamic sparse representation

We consider the problem of automatically recognizing a human face from its multi-view images with unconstrained poses and illuminations. We formulate the multi-view face recognition problem as that of classifying among several multi-input (views) regression models by using a novel joint dynamic sparse representation method which exploits jointly the inter-correlation among all the multi-view images in order to make a decision. Extensive experiments on CMU Multi-PIE face database are conducted to verify the efficacy of the proposed method.
