This paper suggests fuzzy-based Segment-Boost method and an effective method for face recognition using the fuzzy-based Segment-Boost. Fuzzy-based Segment-Boost eliminates the limitations of Segment-Boost, and it guarantees improved learning performance and the stability of the performance. By using the fuzzy theory, fuzzy-based Segment-Boost optimizes the selection number of sub-vectors, and leads the optimized learning performance. The fuzzy controller designed in this paper measures learning performance of the fuzzy-based Segment-Boost, and it controls the selection number of sub-vectors by inferring the optimized selection number. The simulation results show that the fuzzy controller inferred the selection number which is very approximate to the true optimized value. As a result, fuzzy-based Segment-Boost showed higher face recognition rate than compared boosting methods and it preserves the velocity of feature selection as fast as that of Segment-Boost. From the experimental results, it was proved that fuzzy-based Segment-Boost has improved and stable performances of learning, feature selection and face recognition.
