Özet:

Principal component analysis (PCA) is an important tool in many areas including data reduction and interpretation, information retrieval, image processing, and so on. Kernel PCA has recently been proposed as a nonlinear extension of the popular PCA. The basic idea is to first map the input space into a feature space via a nonlinear map and then compute the principal components in that feature space. This paper illustrates the potential of kernel PCA for dimensionality reduction and feature extraction in multimedia retrieval. By the use of Gaussian kernels, the principal components were computed in the feature space of an image data set and they are used as new dimensions to approximate image features. Extensive experimental results show that kernel PCA performs better than linear PCA with respect to the retrieval quality as well as the retrieval precision in content-based image retrievals.
