description Domain adaptation aims to handle the distribution mismatch of training and testing data, which achieves dramatic progress in multi-sensor systems. Previous methods align the cross-domain distributions by some statistics, such as the means and variances. Despite their appeal, such methods often fail to model the discriminative structures existing within testing samples. In this paper, we present a sample-guided adaptive class prototype method, which consists of the no distribution matching strategy. Specifically, two adaptive measures are proposed. Firstly, the modified nearest class prototype is raised, which allows more diversity within same class, while keeping most of the class wise discrimination information. Secondly, we put forward an easy-to-hard testing scheme by taking into account the different difficulties in recognizing target samples. Easy samples are classified and selected to assist the prediction of hard samples. Extensive experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
