Abstract

Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is a widely-used feature extraction method in classification. However, the original LDA has limitations due to the assumption of a unimodal structure for each cluster, which is sat- isfied in many applications such as facial image data when variations such as angle and illumination can significantly influence the images of the same person. In this paper, we propose a novel method, hierarchi- cal LDA(h-LDA), which takes into account hierarchical subcluster structures in the data sets. Our experiments show that regularized h-LDA produces better accuracy than LDA, PCA, and tensorFaces.
