Performance Analysis of Two Methods for Dimension Reduction in Face Recognition

Abstract

Face recognition has been a fast growing, challenging and interesting area in real time applications. This work aims to compare the two renowned techniques of feature dimension reduction on the basis of the classification results of three classifiers used to fulfill the task of face recognition. With the fast increasing quantity and complexity of data in an information-rich age, it becomes difficult, challenging or even impossible for engineers or analysts to deal with raw data directly. Dimensionality reduction provides an efficient way for data abstraction and representation as well as feature extraction. It aims to detect intrinsic structures of data and to extract a reduced number of variables that capture and retain the main features of the high-dimensional data. Principal component analysis (PCA) has long been a simple, efficient technique for dimensionality reduction. A newer nonlinear method local linear embedding (LLE) has been proposed for increasingly complex nonlinear data. In this research work, we investigate and compare linear PCA and nonlinear LLE for face recognition. Experimental results on real-world face database show that these linear and nonlinear methods when compared over performance, the non linear method LLE yield better performance. The classification is carried out using knearest neighbor, probabilistic neural network and support vector machine to identify the face.
