This paper proposes a novel face recognition method that improves Huang's linear discriminant regression classification (LDRC) algorithm. The original work finds a discriminant subspace by maximizing the between-class reconstruction error and minimizing the within-class reconstruction error simultaneously, where the reconstruction error is obtained using linearregressionclassification (LRC). However, the maximization of the overall between-class reconstruction error is easily dominated by some large class-specific between-class reconstruction errors, which makes the following LRC erroneous. This paper adopts a better between-class reconstruction error measurement which is obtained using the collaborative representation instead of class-specific representation and can be regarded as the lower bound of all the class-specific between-class reconstruction errors. Therefore, the maximization of the collaborative between-class reconstruction error maximizes each class-specific between-class reconstruction and emphasizes the small class-specific between-class reconstruction errors, which is beneficial for the following LRC. Extensive experiments are conducted and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

To improve the robustness of the linearregressionclassification (LRC) algorithm, in this paper, we propose a linear discriminant regression classification (LDRC) algorithm to boost the effectiveness of the LRC for face recognition. We embed the Fisher criterion into the LRC as a novel discriminantregression analysis method. The LDRC attempts to maximize the ratio of the between-class reconstruction error (BCRE) over the within-class reconstruction error (WCRE) to find an optimal projection matrix for the LRC such that the LRC on that subspace can achieve a high discrimination for classification. Then, the projected coefficients are executed by the LRC for face recognition. Extensive experiments carried out on the FERET and AR face databases show that the LDRC performs better than the related regression based algorithms and shows a promising ability for face recognition.
