Maximum Neighborhood Margin Discriminant Projection for Classification

الملخص EN

We develop a novel maximum neighborhood margin discriminant projection (MNMDP) technique for dimensionality reduction of high-dimensional data.

It utilizes both the local information and class information to model the intraclass and interclass neighborhood scatters.

By maximizing the margin between intraclass and interclass neighborhoods of all points, MNMDP cannot only detect the true intrinsic manifold structure of the data but also strengthen the pattern discrimination among different classes.

To verify the classification performance of the proposed MNMDP, it is applied to the PolyU HRF and FKP databases, the AR face database, and the UCI Musk database, in comparison with the competing methods such as PCA and LDA.

The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our MNMDP in pattern classification.
