We formulate the multi-view face recognition task as a joint sparse representation model and take advantage of the correlations among the multiple views for face recognition using a novel joint dynamic sparsity prior. The proposed joint dynamic sparsity prior promotes shared joint sparsity patterns among the multiple sparse representation vectors at class-level, while allowing distinct sparsity patterns at atom-level within each class to facilitate a flexible representation. Extensive experiments on the CMU Multi-PIE face database are conducted to verify the efficacy of the proposed method. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{multi-view face recognition; joint dynamic sparsity; joint dynamic sparse representation based classification} \itemli{doi:10.1016/j.patcog.2011.09.009} \end
