LDA based compact and discriminative dictionary learning for sparse coding
Jiayong Chen, Xiangmin Xu, Chunmei Qing, Jianxiu Jin · 2014
The dictionary response usually affects the recognition results directly as it represents the original data and usually serves as the input of the classifier. However, the over-complete dictionary usually results in high dimensional response and redundancy. The application of the linear discriminant analysis (LDA)-based mapping method transforms the original dictionary response to be more discriminative for compact dictionary learning, resulting in high intra-class similarity and high inter-class dissimilarity in the response domain for better classification. By analyzing the recognition rate, the compactness and the purity, the proposed method can learn a small size of compact and discriminative dictionary with global optimization, and it can get a comparable or even better performance than the over-complete dictionary with much less computation cost. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach also outperforms several recently proposed compact dictionary learning methods on human action recognition and object classification.
