  • Patent number: 10146991
    Abstract: Methods and systems for large-scale face recognition. The system includes an electronic processor to receive at least one image of a subject of interest and apply at least one subspace model as a splitting binary decision function on the at least one image of the subject of interest. The electronic processor is further configured to generate at least one binary code from the at least one splitting binary decision function. The electronic processor is further configured to apply a code aggregation model to combine the at least one binary codes generated by the at least one subspace model. The electronic processor is further configured to generate an aggregated binary code from the code aggregation model and use the aggregated binary code to provide a hashing scheme.
