Abstract

This paper describes three methods to improve single sample dataset face identification. The recent approaches to address this issue use intensity and do not guarantee the high accuracy under uncontrolled conditions. This research presents an approach based on Sparse Discriminative Multi Manifold Embedding (SDMME), which uses feature extraction rather than intensity and normalization for pre-processing to reduce the effects of an uncontrolled condition such as illumination. In average this study improves identification accuracy by about 17% compared to current methods
