The paper introduces a novel approach to face recognition that exploits plurality of representation to achieve robust face recognition. The proposed approach was submitted as a representative of the University of Ljubljana and Alpineon d.o.o. to the 2013 face recognition competition that was held in conjunction with the IAPR International Conference on Biometrics and achieved the best overall recognition results among all competition participants. Here, we describe the basic characteristics of the submitted approach, elaborate on the results of the competition and, most importantly, present some general findings made during our development work that are of relevance to the broader (face recognition) research community.
