Research on Image Feature Extraction Method Based on Orthogonal Projection Transformation of Multi-Task Learning Technology

Abstract:

When the number of labeled training samples is very small, the sample information we can use would be very little. Because of this, the recognition rates of some traditional image recognition methods are not satisfactory. In order to use some related information that always exist in other databases, which is helpful to feature extraction and can improve the recognition rates, we apply multi-task learning to feature extraction of images. Our researches are based on transferring the projection transformation. Our experiments results on the public AR, FERET and CAS-PEAL databases demonstrate that the proposed approaches are more effective than the general related feature extraction methods in classification performance.
