Sparse representation based on dictionary learning has been widely applied in recognition tasks. These methods only work well under the conditions that the training samples are uncontaminated or contaminated by a little noise. However, with increasing noise, these methods are not robust for image classification. To address the problem, we propose a novel multi-constraints-based enhanced class-specific dictionary learning (MECDL) approach for image classification, of which our dictionary learning framework is composed of shared dictionary and class-specific dictionaries. For the class-specific dictionaries, we apply Fisher discriminant criterion on them to get structured dictionary. And the sparse coefficients corresponding to the class-specific dictionaries are also introduced into Fisher-based idea, which could obtain discriminative coefficients. At the same time, we apply low-rank constraint into these dictionaries to remove the large noise. For the shared dictionary, we impose a low-rank constraint on it and the corresponding intra-class coefficients are encouraged to be as similar as possible. The experimental results on three well-known databases suggest that the proposed method could enhance discriminative ability of dictionary compared with state-of-art dictionary learning algorithms. Moreover, with the largest noise, our approach both achieves a high recognition rate of over 80%.
