Subpattern-based principle component analysis

摘要

We propose a subpattern-based principle component analysis (SpPCA). The traditional PCA operates directly on a whole pattern represented as a vector and acquires a set of projection vectors to extract global features from given training patterns. SpPCA operates instead directly on a set of partitioned subpatterns of the original pattern and acquires a set of projection sub-vectors for each partition to extract corresponding local sub-features and then synthesizes them into global features for subsequent classification. The experimental results show that the proposed SpPCA has (much) better classification performances on all the real-life benchmark datasets than PCA.
