Abstract

The correntropy is originally proposed to measure the similarity between two random variables and developed as a novel metrics for feature matching. As a kernel method, the parameter of kernel function is very important for correntropy metrics. In this paper, we propose an adaptive parameter selection strategy for correntropy metrics and deduce a close-form solution based on the Maximum Correntropy Criterion (MCC). Moreover, considering the correlation of localized features, we modify the classic correntropy into a block-wise metrics. We verify the proposed metrics in face recognition applications taking Local Binary Pattern (LBP) features. Combined with the proposed adaptive parameter selection strategy, the modified block-wise correntropy metrics could result in much better performance in the experiments.
