Face Detection Based on Kernel Fisher Discriminant Analysis Yuanjian Feng, Pengfei Shi Institute of Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Shanghai Jiaotong University Shanghai 200030, China Abstract 2. Fisher’s Linear Discriminant and the Kernel-based Extension This paper presents a face detection method based on 2.1. Fisher’s Linear Discriminant Kernel Fisher Discriminant analysis (KFD). Kernel based methods have been extensively investigated both in theo- Fisher’s Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is a classi- ries and applications, such as SVM and Kernel PCA.

Since the distribution of face LDA finds an optimal direction  along which the dif- patterns is very complex and highly nonlinear, using non- ference between the two classes is maximized while linear classification tools can hopefully tackle the prob- the variance of each class is minimized.  can also be lem of face detection. We explore the application of KFD se
