A Kernel Maximum uncertainty Discriminant Analysis and its Application to Face Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we extend the Maximum uncertainty Linear Discriminant Analysis (MLDA), proposed recently for limited sample size problems, to its kernel version. The new Kernel Maximum uncertainty Discriminant Analysis (KMDA) is a two-stage method composed of Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) followed by the standard MLDA. In order to evaluate its effectiveness, experiments on face recognition using the well-known ORL and FERET face databases were carried out and compared with other existing kernel discriminant methods, such as Generalized Discriminant Analysis (GDA) and Regularized Kernel Discriminant Analysis (RKDA). The classification results indicate that KMDA performs as well as GDA and RKDA, with the advantage of being a straightforward stabilization approach for the within-class scatter matrix that uses higher-order features for further classification improvements.

Kernel-based Weighted Discriminant Analysis with QR Decomposition and Its Application to Face Recognition
Kernel discriminant analysis (KDA) is a widely used approach in feature extraction problems. However, for high-dimensional multi-class tasks, such as faces recognition, traditional KDA algorithms have a limitation that the Fisher criterion is non-optimal with respect to classification rate. Moreover, they suffer from the small sample size problem. This paper presents two variants of KDA called ...
متن کاملFace Recognition by Cognitive Discriminant Features
Face recognition is still an active pattern analysis topic. Faces have already been treated as objects or textures, but human face recognition system takes a different approach in face recognition. People refer to faces by their most discriminant features. People usually describe faces in sentences like ``She's snub-nosed'' or ``he's got long nose'' or ``he's got round eyes'' and so like. These...
متن کاملA New Feature Extraction Method Based on the Information Fusion of Entropy Matrix and Covariance Matrix and Its Application in Face Recognition
The classic principal components analysis (PCA), kernel PCA (KPCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) feature extraction methods evaluate the importance of components according to their covariance contribution, not considering the entropy contribution, which is important supplementary information for the covariance. To further improve the covariance-based methods such as PCA (or KPCA), this...
متن کاملA new kernel Fisher discriminant algorithm with application to face recognition
Kernel-based methods have been of wide concern in the ,eld of machine learning and neurocomputing. In this paper, a new Kernel Fisher discriminant analysis (KFD) algorithm, called complete KFD (CKFD), is developed. CKFD has two advantages over the existing KFD algorithms. First, its implementation is divided into two phases, i.e., Kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) plus Fisher linear di...
متن کاملKernel Discriminant Learning with Application to Face Recognition
When applied to high-dimensional pattern classification tasks such as face recognition, traditional kernel discriminant analysis methods often suffer from two problems: 1) small training sample size compared to the dimensionality of the sample (or mapped kernel feature) space, and 2) high computational complexity. In this chapter, we introduce a new kernel discriminant learning method, which at...
