Abstract

The matrix based data representation has been recognized to be effective for face recognition because it can deal with the undersampled problem. One of the most popular algorithms, the two dimensional linear discriminant analysis (2DLDA), has been identified to be effective to encode the discriminative information for training matrix represented samples. However, 2DLDA does not converge in the training stage. This paper presents an evolutionary computation based solution, referred to as E-2DLDA, to provide a convergent training stage for 2DLDA. In E-2DLDA, every randomly generated candidate projection matrices are first normalized. The evolutionary computation method optimizes the projection matrices to best separate different classes. Experimental results show E- 2DLDA is convergent and outperforms 2DLDA.
