Abstract

A novel method with general tensor representation for face recognition based on multilinear nonparametric discriminant analysis is proposed. Traditional LDA-based methods suffer some disadvantages such as small sample size problem (SSS), curse of dimensionality, as well as a fundamental limitation resulting from the parametric nature of scatter matrices, which are based on the Gaussian distribution assumption. In addition, traditional LDA-based methods and their variants don't consider the class boundary of samples and interior structure of each sample class. To address the problems, a new multilinear nonparametric discriminant analysis is proposed, and new formulations of scatter matrices are given. Experimental results indicate the robustness and accuracy of the proposed method.
