본 논문에서는 얼굴 인식을 위한 새로운 저차원 특징 표현 기법을 제안하였다. 선형판별기법(LDA)는 인기있는 특징추출 기법이다. 하지만 고차원 데이터의 경우에 계산적인 복잡도가 높고 샘플의 개수가 적은 경우 역행렬을 구할 수 없는 특이행렬문제에 직면한다. 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위해 일반적인 선형판별기법과 다르게 우리는 이차원 이미지 공분산 행렬을 구한 다음 직접선형판별기법(dirct LDA)을 적용하였으며 이것을 2D-DLDA라고 부른다. ORL 얼굴데이터베이스를 사용하여 실험한 결과 기존의 직접선형판별기법보다 성능이 우수함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a new feature representation technique called Improved 2-directional 2-dimensional direct linear discriminant analysis (Improved $(2D)^2$ DLDA) is proposed. In the case of face recognition, thesmall sample size problem and need for many coefficients are often encountered. In order to solve these problems, the proposed method uses the direct LDA and 2-directional image scatter matrix. Moreover the selection method of feature vector and the method of similarity measure are proposed. The ORL face database is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The experimental results show that the proposed method obtains better recognition rate and requires lesser memory than the direct LDA.

In this paper, a novel image projection technique for face recognition application is proposed which is based on linear discriminant analysis (LDA) combined with the relevance-weighted (RW) method. The projection is performed through 2-directional and 2-dimensional LDA, or $(2D)^2$LDA, which simultaneously works in row and column directions to solve the small sample size problem. Moreover, a weighted discriminant hyperplane is used in the between-class scatter matrix, and an RW method is used in the within-class scatter matrix to weigh the information to resolve confusable data in these classes. This technique is called the relevance-weighted $(2D)^2$LDA, or RW$(2D)^2$LDA, which is used for a more accurate discriminant decision than that produced by the conventional LDA or 2DLDA. The proposed technique has been successfully tested on four face databases. Experimental results indicate that the proposed RW$(2D)^2$LDA algorithm is more computationally efficient than the conventional algorithms because it has fewer features and faster times. It can also improve performance and has a maximum recognition rate of over 97%.

In this paper, we present the multimodal system based on the fusion of two user-friendly biometric modalities: Iris and Face. In order to reach robust identification and verification we are going to combine two different biometric features. we specifically apply 2-D discrete wavelet transform to extract the feature sets of low dimensionality from iris and face. And then to obtain Reduced Joint Feature Vector(RJFV) from these feature sets, Direct Linear Discriminant Analysis (DLDA) is used in our multimodal system. In addition, the Synergetic Neural Network(SNN) is used to obtain matching score of the preprocessed data. This system can operate in two modes: to identify a particular person or to verify a person's claimed identity. Our results for both cases show that the proposed method leads to a reliable person authentication system.
