Abstract

In this paper, new improvements for the linear discrimination technique are proposed. These improvements include effective solutions for the small sample size problem, the selection of appropriate principal component and more accurate within-class scatter estimation for the Fisher criterion. The effectiveness of our approach is proved by experimental results on the Yale face database.
