As mentioned in Chapter II, there are two kinds of LDA approaches: classification- oriented LDA and feature extraction-oriented LDA. In most chapters of this session of the book, we focus our attention on the feature extraction aspect of LDA for SSS problems. On the other hand,, with this chapter we present our studies on the pattern classification aspect of LDA for SSS problems. In this chapter, we present three novel classification-oriented linear discriminant criteria. The first one is large margin linear projection (LMLP) which makes full use of the characteristic of the SSS problems. The second one is the minimum norm minimum squared-error criterion which is a modification of the minimum squared-error discriminant criterion. The third one is the maximum scatter difference which is a modification of the Fisher discriminant criterion.

An improved manifold learning method, called Uncorrelated Local Fisher Discriminant Analysis (ULFDA), for face recognition is proposed. Motivated by the fact that statistically uncorrelated features are desirable for dimension reduction, we propose a new difference-based optimization objective function to seek a feature submanifold such that the within-manifold scatter is minimized, and between-manifold scatter is maximized simultaneously in the embedding space. We impose an appropriate constraint to make the extracted features statistically uncorrelated. The uncorrelated discriminant method has an analytic global optimal solution, and it can be computed based on eigen decomposition. As a result, the proposed algorithm not only derives the optimal and lossless discriminative information, but also guarantees that all extracted features are statistically uncorrelated. Experiments on synthetic data and AT&T, extended YaleB and CMU PIE face databases are performed to test and evaluate the proposed algorithm. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
