Abstract

Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is a conventional approach for face verification. For computing large amounts of data collected for a given face verification system, this study proposes a multi-discriminant classification algorithm to classify and verify voluminous facial images. In the training phase, the algorithm extracts all discriminant features of the training data, and classifies them as the clients’ multi-discriminant sets. The algorithm verifies a claim to the client’s multi-discriminant set, and then determines whether the claimant is the client. Comparative results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm reduces the false acceptance rate in face verification.
