Abstract
The approximate bilateral symmetry of human face has been explored to improve the recognition performance of some face recognition algorithms such as Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Direct-LDA (D-LDA). In this paper we summary the ways to generate virtual sample using facial symmetry, and investigate the three strategies of using facial symmetric information in the Null Space LDA (NLDA) framework. The results of our experiments indicate that, the use of facial symmetric information can further improve the recognition accuracy of conventional NLDA.
