Abstract

An approach of class specific representation based learning for illumination tolerant face recognition is reported in this paper. Autoencoder based representation and class specific reconstruction along with phase correlation in frequency domain for classification is proposed. Autoencoder based representation is evaluated as very few number of training images are sufficient to handle the entire variation of test face subspace. Phase correlation is used at the classification stage to handle the illumination problem as intensity is the primary concern. This judicial combination of representation and classification shows improved recognition accuracy on benchmark databases. The performance of the proposed approach compared to another state-of-the-art technique on other representation based learning is established with extensive experimental. Advantage of the proposed approach is also shown by the performance analysis with single training image, which is necessary for some real time applications.
