Abstract

This work presents some preliminary results about exploring and proposing new extensions of common vector based subspace methods that have been recently proposed to deal with very high dimensional classification problems. Both the common vector and the discriminant vector approaches are considered. The different dimensionalities of the subspaces that these methods use as intermediate step are considered in different situations and their relation to the generalization ability of each method is analyzed. Comparative experiments using different databases for the face recognition problem are performed to support the main conclusions of the paper.
