In face recognition, learning speed of face is very important since the system should be trained again whenever the size of dataset increases. In existing methods, training time increases rapidly with the increase of data, which leads to the difficulty of training with a large dataset. To overcome this problem, we propose SVDD (Support Vector Domain Description)-based learning method that can learn a dataset of face rapidly and incrementally. In experimental results, we show that the training speed of the proposed method is much faster than those of other methods. Moreover, it is shown that our face recognition system can improve the accuracy gradually by learning faces incrementally at real environments with illumination changes.
