Sparse representation coefficient contains strong discriminant information and sparsity preserving projections extracts features by sparse representation coefficient.This paper obtains kernel sparse representation coefficient in the high dimensional space by kernel method and use kernel sparse representation coefficient to construct adjacency matrix
then propose kernel sparsity preserving projections.Kernel sparse representation coefficient contains stronger discriminant information than sparse representation coefficient;therefore
KSPP could extract more efficient features than SPP.KSPP achieves good results in biometrics experiments of several databases.
