Discriminant Common Vectors (DCV) is proposed to solve small sample size problem. Face recognition encounters this dilemma where number of training samples is always smaller than the data dimension. In literature, it is shown that DCV is efficient in face recognition. In this paper, DCV is enhanced for further boosting its discriminating power. This modified version is namely Discriminative Discriminant Common Vectors (DDCV). In this technique, a local Laplacian matrix of face data is computed. This matrix is used to derive a regularization model for computing discriminative class common vectors. Experimental results demonstrate that DDCV illustrates its effectiveness on face verification, especially on facial images with significant intra class variations.
