Adaptive Sparse Representations for recognition of faces and facial attributes

This algorithms has been tested on two different recognition problems:

1. Recognition of facial attributes (like expressions, gender, etc.) and
2. Face recognition. For the 1) and 2) tasks the reader is referred to our publications [1] and [2] respectively. It is the same code but with different parameters. For 1) run demo_eccv2014.m, for 2) run demo_wifs2014.m.

To run ASR+, following Matlab Toolboxes are required:

• VLFeat
• Balu
• SPAMS

Please run:

• demo_eccv2014.m for demo of paper presented at ECCV2004
• demo_wifs2014.m for demo of paper presented at WIFS2004
