To improve the effectiveness of facial feature represented by hyperspectral face data, a VGGNet and multi-band recurrent training based method for hyperspectral face recognition was proposed. Firstly, a Multi-Task Convolutional Neural Network (MTCNN) was used to locate the hyperspectral face image accurately in preprocessing phase, and the hyperspectral face data was enhanced by mixed channel. Then, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) structure based VGG12 deep network was built for hyperspectral face recognition. Finally, multi-band recurrent training was introduced to train the VGG12 network and realize the recognition based on the characteristics of hyperspectral face data. The experimental results of UWA-HSFD and PolyU-HSFD databases reveal that the proposed method is superior to other deep networks such as DeepID, DeepFace and VGGNet.
