Definition

A major problem in face recognition is to design algorithms that are invariant to those image changes typically observed when capturing faces in real environments. A large group of important image variations can be addressed using a component-based approach, where each face is first analyzed by parts and then the results are combined to provide a global solution. The image variations that are generally tackled with this approach are those due to occlusion, expression, and pose [1]. It has been argued that these changes have a lesser effect on local regions than to the whole of face image. Differences exist on how to formulate the component-based approach. Some of the algorithms use local information and combine these using a global decision maker. Some extract the important local parts to represent the face distributions, while others learn the distribution of the components generated by the...
