Partial absence of face information challenges the robustness of face recognition algorithms. In order to reduce the effect of partial information loss on face recognition, a Face Recognition Method based on partitioning Collaborative Representation (FRAPCR) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the face image is divided into several sub-blocks. Secondly, the Collaborative Representation (CR) is used to calculate the minimum sparse representation coefficient of each sub-block and the residual between the sub-block and the corresponding samples of each class, taking the class corresponding to the minimum residual as the class to which the sub-block belongs. Thirdly, a voting mechanism is introduced to count the categories of all sub-blocks of each face image, and the category with the largest number of votes is the category to which the whole face image belongs. Through the experiments on face databases ORL, Extend Yale B, and AR by the proposed method (FRAPCR), the best partitioning way of the face image is obtained. When there is partial information missing (pixel information missing, corrosion block and occlusion) in the face image, the images in each face database is divided in its corresponding optimal partitioning way. And comparative experiments between the FRAPCR and traditional CR face recognition methods are performed. The results show that FRAPCR has high recognition rate and stable recognition effect when there is partial information missing in face images.
