In order to enhance the performance of image recognition, a sparsity augmented probabilistic collaborative representation based classification (SA-ProCRC) method is presented. The proposed method obtains the dense coefficient through ProCRC, then augments the dense coefficient with a sparse one, and the sparse coefficient is attained by the orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm. In contrast to conventional methods which require explicit computation of the reconstruction residuals for each class, the proposed method employs the augmented coefficient and the label matrix of the training samples to classify the test sample. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can achieve promising results for face and scene images. The source code of our proposed SA-ProCRC is accessible at https://github.com/yinhefeng/SAProCRC

Representation Method

Collaborative representation classification (CRC) is an important sparse method, which is easy to carry out and uses a linear combination of training samples to represent a test sample. CRC method utilizes the offset between representation result of each class and the test sample to implement classification. However, the offset usually cannot well express the difference between every class and the test sample. In this paper, we propose a novel representation method for image recognition to address the above problem. This method not only fuses sparse representation and CRC method to improve the accuracy of image recognition, but also has novel fusion mechanism to classify images. The implementations of the proposed method have the following steps. First of all, it produces collaborative representation of the test sample. That is, a linear combination of all the training samples is first determined to represent the test sample. Then, it gets the sparse representation classification (SRC) of the test sample. Finally, the proposed method respectively uses CRC and SRC representations to obtain two kinds of scores of the test sample and fuses them to recognize the image. The experiments of face recognition show that the combination of CRC and SRC has satisfactory performance for image classification.

In recent years, the collaborative representation-based classification (CRC) method has achieved great success in visual recognition by directly utilizing training images as dictionary bases. However, it describes a test sample with all training samples to extract shared attributes and does not consider the representation of the test sample with the training samples in a specific class to extract the class-specific attributes. For remote-sensing images, both the shared attributes and class-specific attributes are important for classification. In this paper, we propose a hybrid collaborative representation-based classification approach. The proposed method is capable of improving the performance of classifying remote-sensing images by embedding the class-specific collaborative representation to conventional collaborative representation-based classification. Moreover, we extend the proposed method to arbitrary kernel space to explore the nonlinear characteristics hidden in remote-sensing image features to further enhance classification performance. Extensive experiments on several benchmark remote-sensing image datasets were conducted and clearly demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed algorithm to state-of-the-art approaches.

Face recognition (FR) is a hotspot in pattern recognition and image processing for its wide applications in real life. One of the most challenging problems in FR is single sample face recognition (SSFR). In this paper, we proposed a novel algorithm based on nonnegative sparse representation, collaborative presentation, and probabilistic graph estimation to address SSFR. The proposed algorithm is named as Nonnegative Sparse Probabilistic Estimation (NNSPE). To extract the variation information from the generic training set, we first select some neighbor samples from the generic training set for each sample in the gallery set and the generic training set can be partitioned into some reference subsets. To make more meaningful reconstruction, the proposed method adopts nonnegative sparse representation to reconstruct training samples, and according to the reconstruction coefficients, NNSPE computes the probabilistic label estimation for the samples of the generic training set. Then, for a given test sample, collaborative representation (CR) is used to acquire an adaptive variation subset. Finally, the NNSPE classifies the test sample with the adaptive variation subset and probabilistic label estimation. The experiments on the AR and PIE verify the effectiveness of the proposed method both in recognition rates and time cost.

Collaborative representation based classification (CRC) is an efficient classifier in image classification. By using l 2 regularization, the collaborative representation based classifier holds competitive performances compared with the sparse representation based classifier using less computational time. However, each of the elements calculated from the training samples are utilized for representation without selection, which can lead to poor performances in some classification tasks. To resolve this issue, in this paper, we propose a novel collaborative representation by directly using non-negative representations to represent a test sample collaboratively, termed Non-negative Collaborative Representation-based Classifier (NCRC). To collect all non-negative collaborative representations, we introduce a Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) function to perform filtering on the coefficients obtained by l 2 minimization according to CRC’s objective function. Next, we represent the test sample by using a linear combination of these representations. Lastly, the nearest subspace classifier is used to perform classification on the test samples. The experiments performed on four different databases including face and palmprint showed the promising results of the proposed method. Accuracy comparisons with other state-of-art sparse representation-based classifiers demonstrated the effectiveness of NCRC at image classification. In addition, the proposed NCRC consumes less computational time, further illustrating the efficiency of NCRC.

Representation Method

In this paper, we carry on research on a facial expression recognition method, which is based on modified sparse representation recognition (MSRR) method. On the first stage, we use Haar-like+LPP to extract feature and reduce dimension. On the second stage, we adopt LC-K-SVD (Label Consistent K-SVD) method to train the dictionary, instead of adopting directly the dictionary from samples, and add block dictionary training into the training process. On the third stage, stOMP (stagewise orthogonal matching pursuit) method is used to speed up the convergence of OMP (orthogonal matching pursuit). Besides, a dynamic regularization factor is added to iteration process to suppress noises and enhance accuracy. We verify the proposed method from the aspect of training samples, dimension, feature extraction and dimension reduction methods and noises in self-built database and Japan’s JAFFE and CMU’s CK database. Further, we compare this sparse method with classic SVM and RVM and analyze the recognition effect and time efficiency. The result of simulation experiment has shown that the coefficient of MSRR method contains classifying information, which is capable of improving the computing speed and achieving a satisfying recognition result.

Sample Representation

With the development of machine learning and computer vision, classification technology is becoming increasingly important. Due to the advantage in efficiency and effectiveness, collaborative representation-based classifiers (CRC) have been applied to many practical cognitive fields. In this paper, we propose a new neighborhood prior constrained collaborative representation model for pattern classification. Compared with the naive CRC models which approximate the test sample with all the training data globally, our proposed methods emphasize the guidance of the neighborhood priors in the coding process. Two different kinds of neighbor priors and the models’ weighted extensions are explored from the view of sample representation ability and relationships between the samples. Consequently, the contributions of different samples can be distinguished adaptively and the obtained representations can be more discriminative for the recognition. Experimental results on several popular databases can verify the effectiveness of our proposed methods in comparison with other state-of-the-art classifiers.
