In this paper, we propose a novel linear discriminant analysis criterion via the Bhattacharyya error bound estimation based on a novel L1-norm (L1BLDA) and L2-norm (L2BLDA). Both L1BLDA and L2BLDA maximize the betweenclass scatters which are measured by the weighted pairwise distances of class means and meanwhile minimize the within-class scatters under the L1-norm and L2-norm, respectively. The proposed models can avoid the small sample size (SSS) problem and have no rank limit that may encounter in LDA. It is worth mentioning that, the employment of L1-norm gives a robust performance of L1BLDA, and L1BLDA is solved through an effective non-greedy alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), where all the projection vectors can be obtained once for all. In addition, the weighting constants of L1BLDA and L2BLDA between the between-class and within-class terms are determined by the involved data set, which makes our L1BLDA and L2BLDA adaptive. The experimental results on both benchmark data sets as well as the handwritten digit databases demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
