报告摘要（ABSTRACT）：

This talk will introduce some of our recent research progress in sparse representation based image analysis and face recognition. Sparse representation has shown strong capability in image reconstruction such as image denoising, deblurring, super-resolution and compressed sensing. Meanwhile, sparse representation has also been attracting lots of attention in pattern classification such as face recognition, and it has shown many interesting results.  However, is it really the sparsity that helps face recognition? In this talk, we will demonstrate that it is not the sparse representation, but the collaborative representation, that truly helps face recognition, and we will also show some results on regularized coding based robust face recognition.
