Abstract

Many problems in pattern classifications involve some form of dimensionality reduction. ISOMAP is a representative nonlinear dimensionality reduction algorithm, which can discover low dimensional manifolds from high dimensional data. To speed ISOMAP and decrease the dependency to the neighborhood size, we propose an improved algorithm. It can automatically select a proper neighborhood size and an appropriate landmark set according to a stress function. A multi-class classifier with high efficiency is obtained through combining the improved ISOMAP with SVM. Experiments show that the classifier presented is effective in fingerprint classifications.
