Abstract

This paper improves the performance of Feature Feedback and presents its application to face recognition. Feature Feedback has been introduced as a method which focuses on preprocessing the input data before classification. After extracting the features from original, Feature Feedback identifies the important part of the original data through the reverse mapping from the extracted features to the original space. In the feature extraction step, original feature feedback used PCA before LDA to avoid the small sample size problem but it has been shown that this may cause loss of significant discriminatory information. To overcome that problem, in the proposed method, we introduce feature feedback using regularized Fisher's separability criterion to extract the features and apply it to face recognition using the Yale data. The experimental results show that the proposed method works well.
