Abstract
This paper presents an fuzzy kernel scatter-difference based
discriminant analysis algorithm called FKSDA. This is a fuzzy extension
of kernel scatter-difference based discriminant analysis (KSDA)
algorithm. It can deal with both small sample size and nonlinear
problems from which the performance of face recognition system are
degraded. Experimental results on two face databases show that the
proposed approach, using fuzzy logic, achieves a better performance in
face recognition compared with the original KSDA algorithm.
Keywords: face recognition, kernel methods,scatter-difference
discriminant analysis, Fuzzy logic.
