摘要: 基于核范数的矩阵回归方法(Nuclear norm based Matrix Regression,NMR)对人脸图像中因遮挡和光照变化等噪声引发的误差具有很强的鲁棒性。分析了NMR的鲁棒性的基本原理:首先,误差的核范数度量的是误差在其主方向上的能量,而主方向上的能量通常都去除了常规噪声的干扰;其次,误差的核范数度量嵌入了噪声的空间结构信息,而噪声的空间结构对于表示并排除噪声的影响至关重要。然而,仅仅考虑噪声的空间结构并不能有效消除噪声的影响。将具有噪声抑制能力的高维梯度方向(High-dimensional Gradient Orientation,HGO)特征嵌入NMR,提出了 一种基于高维梯度方向特征的NMR方法(High-dimensional Gradient Orientations-based NMR,HGO-NMR)极大地提升了NMR的识别性能。其重要意义在于指出噪声空间结构信息和噪声抑制机制对于面向现实的鲁棒人脸识别系统同等重要,单方面强调其中任何一种机制都将导致不稳定的识别性能。

Abstract: Nuclear norm based matrix regression(NMR) is robust to the errors caused by facial occlusion and illumination changes.This paper analyzed the underlying mechanism of NMR.Firstly,the nuclear norm measures the energies of the error caused by noises in the principle orientations,which usually exclude the influence of the common noises.Seco-ndly,the nuclear norm embeds the spatial structure of noises, which is very important to represent and exclude the noises.However,it is insufficient to eliminate the influence of the noises completely by only embedding the spatial structure of noises.As high-dimensional gradient orientation(HGO) has strong ability in noise cancellation, this paper embedded HGO into NMR and proposed a novel regression method called HGO-NMR.Experiments show that HGO-NMR outperforms NMR.The critical significance of HGO-NMR is that the noise spatial structure and the noise cancellation mechanism are equally important for face recognition system for reality,and only using one of the two mechanisms will lead to unstable recognition performance.
