Locality Preserving Nonnegative Matrix Factorization with Application to Face Recognition

In this paper, we propose a Locality Preserving Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (LPNMF) method to discover the manifold structure embedded in high-dimensional face space that is applied for face recognition. It is done by incorporating locality preserving constraints inside the cost function of NMF, then a new decomposition of a face with locality preserving can be obtained. As a result, the proposed LPNMF method shares some properties with the Locality Preserving Projection (LPP) such that it can effectively discover the manifold structure embedded in a high-dimensional face space. Experimental results show that LPNMF provides a better representation and achieves higher recognition rates in face recognition.
