Subspace Regression based Face Recognition

Introduction

This project implement some classic subspace regression for face recognition algorithms, including LRC [1], RRC, SRC [2], CRC [3], Euler RRC, Euler SRC [4], Euler CRC. RRC , Euler RRC and Euler CRC are proposed by myself. These methods can be divided into two categories, LRC-based and CRC-based. The former includes LRC, RRC, Euler RRC; the latter includes CRC, SRC, Euler CRC, Euler SRC. The project adopts sklearn style api design, which can be directly trained and tested by calling the fit method and score method of the model.

Examples

All models are implemented in subspace_regression.py. You can simply call the models in this class to complete a face recognition task. A simple example is shown below.

import numpy as np

from dataset import AR
from model.subspace_regression import LRC

train_xs, train_ys, test_xs, test_ys = AR.exp1(mode=2)
model = LRC()
model.fit(train_xs, train_ys)
acc = model.score(test_xs, test_ys)
print(f'The accuracy of {model.__class__.__name__} on AR datest is: {acc}.\n')

# Output
>> The accuracy of LRC on AR datest is: 0.7271.
