LDA is well-known scheme for feature extraction and dimension reduction. It provides improved performance over the standard Principal Component Analysis （PCA） method of face recognition by introducing the concept of classes and distance between classes. This paper provides an overview of PCA, the various variants of LDA and their basic drawbacks. The paper also has proposed a development over classical LDA, i.e., LDA using wavelets transform approach that enhances performance as regards accuracy and time complexity. Experiments on ORL face database clearly demonstrate this and the graphical comparison of the algorithms clearly showcases the improved recognition rate in case of the proposed algorithm.展开更多
