Two-dimensional discriminant transform for face recognition
David Zhanga, XuYongb, Jing-yuYangb · 2005
This paper develops a new image feature extraction and recognition method coined two-dimensional linear discriminant analysis (2DLDA). 2DLDA provides a sequentially optimal image compression mechanism, making the discriminant information compact into the up-left corner of the image. Also, 2DLDA suggests a feature selection strategy to select the most discriminative features from the corner. 2DLDA is tested and evaluated using the AT&T face database. The experimental results show 2DLDA is more effective and computationally more efficient than the current LDA algorithms for face feature extraction and recognition. 2005 Pattern Recognition Society.
