Traditional Collaborative Representation-based Classification algorithms for face recognition (CRC) usually suffer from data uncertainty, especially if it includes various poses and illuminations. To address this issue, in this paper, we design a new CRC method using histogram statistical measurement (H-CRC) combined with a 3D morphable model (3DMM) for pose-invariant face classification. First, we fit a 3DMM to raw images in the dictionary to reconstruct the 3D shapes and textures. The fitting results are used to render numerous virtual samples of 2D images that are frontalized from arbitrary poses. In contrast to other distance-based evaluation algorithms for collaborative (or sparse) representation-based methods, the histogram information of all the generated 2D face images is subsequently exploited. Second, we use a histogram-based metric learning to evaluate the most similar neighbours of the test sample, which aims to obtain ideal result for pose-invariant face recognition using the designed histogram-based 3DMM model and online pruning strategy, forming a unified 3D-aided CRC framework. The proposed method achieves desirable classification results that are conducted on a set of well-known face databases, including ORL, Georgia Tech, FERET, FRGC, PIE and LFW.

Most facial analysis methods perform well in standardized testing but not in real-world testing. The main reason is that training models cannot easily learn various human features and background noise, especially for facial landmark detection and head pose estimation tasks with limited and noisy training datasets. To alleviate the gap between standardized and real-world testing, we propose a pseudo-labeling technique using a face recognition dataset consisting of various people and background noise.

Article Synopsis
- Face recognition advancements are hindered by varying poses due to imbalanced training data, where profile faces are less represented compared to near-frontal faces.
- To address these challenges, a new framework called Symmetrical Siamese Network (SSN) is introduced, featuring two main components focused on consistent feature learning from different poses.
- SSN demonstrates competitive performance against current face recognition models by ensuring equal learning opportunities for both profile and near-frontal images, effectively combating the pose-based long-tailed data issue.

Neonatal Facial Pain Assessment (NFPA) is essential to improve neonatal pain management. Pose variation and occlusion, which can significantly alter the facial appearance, are two major and still unstudied barriers to NFPA. We bridge this gap in terms of method and dataset.

Face recognition has always been courted in computer vision and is especially amenable to situations with significant variations between frontal and profile faces. Traditional techniques make great strides either by synthesizing frontal faces from sizable datasets or by empirical pose invariant learning. In this paper, we propose a completely integrated embedded end-to-end Lie algebra residual architecture (LARNeXt) to achieve pose robust face recognition.

One of the key challenges in facial recognition is multi-view face synthesis from a single face image. The existing generative adversarial network (GAN) deep learning methods have been proven to be effective in performing facial recognition with a set of pre-processing, post-processing and feature representation techniques to bring a frontal view into the same position in-order to achieve high accuracy face identification. However, these methods still perform relatively weak in generating high quality frontal-face image samples under extreme face pose scenarios.
