A Generalized Form of Fisher Linear Discriminant Function
Cheng Zheng · 2009
A generalized form of Fisher discriminant function is presented.It overcomes the limitations of two common discriminant functions.The presented form uniforms the discriminant functions in two subspaces of the dual subspace discriminant analysis(DSDA).A new orthogonal discriminant vector set is obtained by QR decomposition,and its discriminant property is approximate to that of the Foley-Sammon orthogonal discriminant vector set with smaller computational complexity.The experiments on ORL and JAFFE database show that theory analysis is consistent to the experimental results.
