Feature selection aims to reduce the dimensionality of patterns for classi catory analysis by selecting the most informative instead of irrelevant and/or redundant ones. In the case of a face recognition problem, the objective of feature selection is to nd the smallest subset of features that maximizes the face recognition ability. The drawback of the most recently proposed feature selection based information measures is that they do not take into consideration the interaction between features. Indeed, a single feature can be considered irrelevant based on its correlation with the class; but when combined with other features, it becomes very relevant. Unintentional removal of these features can result in a loss of useful information and thus may cause poor recognition performance. In this paper, we propose a novel information-theoretic measure for face frequency feature selection, named Ponderated Mutual Information (PMI), that takes into account the interaction between features. Signi cant performances are obtained when applying this method on a benchmark face databases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
