Abstract : Although it shows enormous potential as a feature extractor, 2D principal component analysis produces numerous coefficients. Using a feature-selection algorithm based on a multiobjective genetic algorithm to analyze and discard irrelevant coefficients offers a solution that considerably reduces the number of coefficients, while also improving recognition rates. © 2011, The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
