Abstract

Dimensionality reduction (DR) methods have commonly been used as a principled way to process the high-dimensional data such as face images. In this paper, a novel linear DR method called discriminating neighborhood preserving embedding (DNPE), which incorporates between-class scatter matrix and within-class scatter matrix into neighborhood preserving embedding (NPE), is proposed. It has been shown that DNPE has stronger discriminating power than NPE does. Meanwhile, this paper also proposes sparse discriminating neighborhood preserving embedding (SDNPE) based on sparse representation theory, which directly generates the weight matrix without constructing adjacency graphs. Experimental results on Yale, ORL, AR and Extended YaleB face databases verify the efficacy of the proposed methods.
