Face recognition is a challenging problem in computer vision and pattern recognition. Recently, many local geometrical structure-based techiniques are presented to obtain the low-dimensional representation of face images with enhanced discriminatory power. However, these methods suffer from the small simple size (SSS) problem or the high computation complexity of high-dimensional data. To overcome these problems, we propose a novel local manifold structure learning method for face recognition, named direct neighborhood discriminant analysis (DNDA), which separates the nearby samples of interclass and preserves the local within-class geometry in two steps, respectively. In addition, the PCA preprocessing to reduce dimension to a large extent is not needed in DNDA avoiding loss of discriminative information. Experiments conducted on ORL, Yale, and UMIST face databases show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

To achieve a more desirable fault diagnosis accuracy by applying multi-domain features of vibration signals, it is significative and challenging to refine the most representative and intrinsic feature components from the original high dimensional feature space. A novel dimensionality reduction method for fault diagnosis is proposed based on local Fisher discriminant analysis (LFDA) which takes both label information and local geometric structure of the high dimensional features into consideration. Multi-kernel trick is introduced into the LFDA to improve its performance in dealing with the nonlinearity of mapping high dimensional feature space into a lower one. To obtain an optimal diagnosis accuracy by the reduced features of low dimensionality, binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) algorithm is utilized to search for the most appropriate parameters of kernels and K-nearest neighbor (kNN) recognition model. Samples with labels are used to train the optimal multi-kernel LFDA and kNN (OMKLFDA-kNN) fault diagnosis model to obtain the optimal transformation matrix. Consequently, the trained fault diagnosis model implements the recognition of machinery health condition with the most representative feature space of vibration signals. A bearing fault diagnosis experiment is conducted to verify the effectiveness of proposed diagnostic approach. Performance comparison with some other methods are investigated, and the improvement for fault diagnosis of the proposed method are confirmed in different aspects.

A key challenge in clinical proteomics of cancer is the identification of biomarkers that could allow detection, diagnosis and prognosis of the diseases. Recent advances in mass spectrometry and proteomic instrumentations offer unique chance to rapidly identify these markers. These advances pose considerable challenges, similar to those created by microarray-based investigation, for the discovery of pattern of markers from high-dimensional data, specific to each pathologic state (e.g. normal vs cancer). We propose a three-step strategy to select important markers from high-dimensional mass spectrometry data using surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization (SELDI) technology. The first two steps are the selection of the most discriminating biomarkers with a construction of different classifiers. Finally, we compare and validate their performance and robustness using different supervised classification methods such as Support Vector Machine, Linear Discriminant Analysis, Quadratic Discriminant Analysis, Neural Networks, Classification Trees and Boosting Trees. We show that the proposed method is suitable for analysing high-throughput proteomics data and that the combination of logistic regression and Linear Discriminant Analysis outperform other methods tested.

This chapter describes a multi-linear discriminant method of constructing and quantifying statistically significant changes on human identity photographs. The approach is based on a general multivariate two-stage linear framework that addresses the small sample size problem in high-dimensional spaces. Starting with a 2D data set of frontal face images, the authors determine a most characteristic direction of change by organizing the data according to the patterns of interest. These experiments on publicly available face image sets show that the multi-linear approach does produce visually plausible results for gender, facial expression and aging facial changes in a simple and efficient way. The authors believe that such approach could be widely applied for modeling and reconstruction in face recognition and possibly in identifying subjects after a lapse of time.

One’s head pose can be estimated using face images. The hidden manifold of head pose in the high dimensional space can be successfully embedded into a 2 dimensional space using Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA). A pose curve is gotten using KPCA train samples and new pose image is projected onto this curve. The pose angle can be estimated using interpolation method. The disadvantage of traditional linear method is conquered by using 2-D KPCA and the experimental results that the method is effective to estimate head poses. The kernel functions effects on estimation accuracy are also discussed.
