Face recognition using multilayered discriminant analysis

Face recognition using multilayered discriminant analysis includes systems and methods applying an initial linear discriminate analysis to a database of face images in a more-or less conventional manner. Initial fuzzy logic then is applied to the results of the initial linear discriminate analysis to produce a subset of the database of face images. Thereafter, a subsequent linear discriminate analysis is applied to the subset of the database of face images and subsequent fuzzy logic is applied to the results of the subsequent linear discriminate analysis to produce a further subset of the subset of the database of face images. The application of the subsequent linear discriminate analysis and application of the subsequent fuzzy logic may be repeated until the further subset contains only one, or zero, face images.
