Abstract
A novel nonlinear discriminant analysis method, Kernelized Decision Boundary Analysis (KDBA), is proposed in our paper, whose Decision Boundary feature vectors are the normal vector of the optimal Decision Boundary in terms of the Structure Risk Minimization principle. We also use a simple method to prove a property of Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm, which is combined with the optimal Decision Boundary Feature matrix to make our method consistent with the Kernel Fisher method(KFD). Moreover, KDBA is easily used in its applications, and the traditional Decision Boundary Analysis implementations are computationally expensive and sensitive to the size of the problem. Text classification problem is first used to testify the effectiveness of KDBA. Then experiments on the large-scale face database, the CAS-PEAL database, have illustrated its excellent performance compared with some popular face recognition methods such as Eigenface, Fisherface, and KFD.
