Modular PCA Face Recognition Based on Weighted Average
Chengmao Han · Modern Applied Science · 2009
This paper presents an improved modular PCA approach, that is, modular PCA algorithm based on weighted average. This algorithm extracts weighted average for every sub-block of every training sample in each type of training sample, and normally operates the corresponding sub-block in training sample using weighted average, then all standardized sub-blocks constitute the overall scatter matrix, and thus the optimal projective matrix is obtained; From the middle value of sub-blocks in training set, and normally projecting sub-blocks of training samples and test samples to the projective matrix, then we can get identified characteristics; At last, use the recent distance classifier to class. The test results in the ORL face database show that the proposed method in identifying performance is superior to ordinary modular PCA approach.
