Abstract

The kernel-based feature extraction method is of importance in applications of artificial intelligence techniques to real-world problems. It extends the original data space to a higher dimensional feature space and tends to perform better in many non-linear classification problems than a linear approach. This work makes use of our previous research outcomes on the construction of wavelet kernel for kernel principal component analysis (KPCA). Using Monte Carlo simulation approach, we study noise effects of the performance of wavelet kernel PCA in spatial pattern data classification. We investigate how the classification accuracy change when feature dimension is changed. We also compare the classification accuracy obtained from the single-scale and multi-scale wavelet kernels to demonstrate the advantage of using multi-scale wavelet kernel in KPCA. Our study show that multi-scale wavelet kernel performs better than single-scale wavelet kernel in classification of data that we consider. It also demonstrates the usefulness of multi-scale wavelet kernels in application of feature extraction in kernel PCA.
