Abstract
Feature extraction is a crucial step for face recognition. In this paper, based on Neighborhood Preserving Projections (NPP), a novel feature extraction method called Uncorrelated Neighborhood Preserving Projections (UNPP) is proposed for face recognition. The improvement of UNPP method over NPP method benefits mostly from two aspects: One aspect is that UNPP preserves the within-class neighboring geometry by taking into account the class label information; the other aspect is that the extracted features via UNPP are statistically uncorrelated with minimum redundancy. Experimental results on the publicly available ORL face database show that the proposed UNPP approach provides a better representation of the data and achieves much higher recognition accuracy.
