Abstract: Latest research results have demonstrated the effectiveness of both sparse (or collaborative) representation and dictionary learning for problem solving in face recognition and other signal classification. Considering the fact that an informative dictionary helps a lot in sparse coding, a novel model that consists of group dictionary learning and high-quality joint kernel collaborative representation was proposed in this paper, where rich information from original and virtual space was mined and constructed as a sample group space to improve classification accuracy. Meanwhile, joint kernel collaborative representation with an $\ell_{2}$-regularization-based classifier was used to capture more nonlinear structure and minimize the time cost. Experiments showed that the proposed method outperformed several similar state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy and computational complexity.
