Abstract:- Nearest feature space (NFS) classifier had been proposed to enhance the limited prototypes’ representation capacity. In this paper, we provide a formal definition and a theoretical analysis to Feature Space. Furthermore, a novel NFS classifier is proposed for face recognition. Experimental results using the ORL face database indicate that the proposed NFS obtains a better recognition performance than Chien’s NFS, which means a larger prototype representation capacity. Key-Words:- classifier design, nearest feature line (NFL), nearest feature space (NFS), face recognition 1
