Abstract:
High dimensional data is modeled using low-rank subspaces, and the probability of misclassification is expressed in terms of the principal angles between subspaces. The form taken by this expression motivates the design of a new feature extraction method that enlarges inter-class separation, while preserving intra-class structure. The method can be tuned to emphasize different features shared by members within the same class. Classification performance is compared to that of state-of-the-art methods on synthetic data and on the real face database. The probability of misclassification is decreased when intra-class structure is taken into account.
