Abstract: | This work proposes a method to decompose the kernel within-class eigenspace into two subspaces: a reliable subspace spanned
mainly by the facial variation and an unreliable subspace due to limited number of training samples. A weighting function
is proposed to circumvent undue scaling of eigenvectors corresponding to the unreliable small and zero eigenvalues. Eigenfeatures
are then extracted by the discriminant evaluation in the whole kernel space. These efforts facilitate a discriminative and
stable low-dimensional feature representation of the face image. Experimental results on FERET, ORL and GT databases show
that our approach consistently outperforms other kernel based face recognition methods.
