Color Face Recognition using High-Dimension Quaternion-based Adaptive Representation
share
Recently, quaternion collaborative representation-based classification (QCRC) and quaternion sparse representation-based classification (QSRC) have been proposed for color face recognition. They can obtain correlation information among different color channels. However, their performance is unstable in different conditions. For example, QSRC performs better than than QCRC on some situations but worse on other situations. To benefit from quaternion-based e_2-norm minimization in QCRC and quaternion-based e_1-norm minimization in QSRC, we propose the quaternion-based adaptive representation (QAR) that uses a quaternion-based e_p-norm minimization (1 < p < 2) for color face recognition. To obtain the high dimension correlation information among different color channels, we further propose the high-dimension quaternion-based adaptive representation (HD-QAR). The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed QAR and HD-QAR achieve better recognition rates than QCRC, QSRC and several state-of-the-art methods.
