We consider the problem of determining functions of an image of an object that are insensitive to illumination changes. We rst show that for an object with Lambertian r e e ctanc ...

Making decisions based on a linear combination L of features is of course very common in pattern recognition. For distinguishing between two hypotheses or classes, the test is of ...
We present a new approach, called local discriminant embedding (LDE), to manifold learning and pattern classification. In our framework, the neighbor and class relations of data a...
Independent Components Analysis (ICA) maximizes the statistical independence of the representational components of a training image ensemble, but it cannot distinguish between the...
We simultaneously approach two tasks of nonlinear discriminant analysis and kernel selection problem by proposing a unified criterion, Fisher+Kernel Criterion. In addition, an eff...
