Block-Wise Two-Dimensional Maximum Margin Criterion for Face Recognition

Maximum margin criterion (MMC) is a well-known method for feature extraction and dimensionality reduction. However, MMC is based on vector data and fails to exploit local characteristics of image data. In this paper, we propose a two-dimensional generalized framework based on a block-wise approach f...

description Maximum margin criterion (MMC) is a well-known method for feature extraction and dimensionality reduction. However, MMC is based on vector data and fails to exploit local characteristics of image data. In this paper, we propose a two-dimensional generalized framework based on a block-wise approach for MMC, to deal with matrix representation data, that is, images. The proposed method, namely, block-wise two-dimensional maximum margin criterion (B2D-MMC), aims to find local subspace projections using unilateral matrix multiplication in each block set, such that in the subspace a block is close to those belonging to the same class but far from those belonging to different classes. B2D-MMC avoids iterations and alternations as in current bilateral projection based two-dimensional feature extraction techniques by seeking a closed form solution of one-side projection matrix for each block set. Theoretical analysis and experiments on benchmark face databases illustrate that the proposed method is effective and efficient.
