A New Kernel Orthogonal Projection Analysis Approach for Face Recognition

Abstract:

In the field of face recognition, how to extract effective nonlinear discriminative features is an important research topic. In this paper, we propose a new kernel orthogonal projection analysis approach. We obtain the optimal nonlinear projective vector which can differentiate one class and its adjacent classes, by using the Fisher criterion and constructing the specific between-class and within-class scatter matrices in kernel space. In addition, to eliminate the redundancy among projective vectors, our approach makes every projective vector satisfy locally orthogonal constraints by using the corresponding class and part of its most adjacent classes. Experimental results on the public AR and CAS-PEAL face databases demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms several representative nonlinear projection analysis methods.
