Human Face Identification based on Optimal Sparse Features

Security of human being is an important aspect in the context of data communication. To maintain security, technology is being developed from alpha-numeric passwords to biometric scanners. Recent advancement in security is the user authentication using face recognition. But the flaws in existing face recognition systems are yet to be addressed. This paper discusses solutions to the issues encountered by face recognition systems. Sparsity based classification is performed in this work. This method can handle errors occurs due to compress in and occlusion in a robust manner. We suggest a comprehensive classification algorithm characterized by sparse representation and 1l -minimization. In this method, the feature points and selection of features are not critical. The effect of change in occlusion can be easily addressed by using this optimal sparse representation based classification (OSRC) algorithm.
