Abstract

The classical Bayes classifier plays an important role in the field of pattern recognition. Usually, it is not easy to use a Bayes classifier for pattern recognition problems in high dimensional spaces. This paper proposes a novel PCA-based Bayes classifier for pattern recognition problems in high dimensional spaces. Experiments for face analysis have been performed on CMU facial expression image database. It is shown that the PCA-based Bayes classifier can perform much better than the minimum distance classifier. And, with the PCA-based Bayes classifier, we can obtain a better understanding of data.
