A dual distance metrics method for improving classification performance

Abstract Distance metric forms the basis of pattern classification, as almost all classifiers depend on such a metric for making classification decisions. However, the existing research testifies that a single‐distance metric is not robust enough for classification. In this Letter, the authors propo...

description Abstract Distance metric forms the basis of pattern classification, as almost all classifiers depend on such a metric for making classification decisions. However, the existing research testifies that a single‐distance metric is not robust enough for classification.

These two distance metrics are fused by a parameter‐free multiplication scheme. The rationale of the designed multiplication fusion can be interpreted from the viewpoint of probability. As the multiplication fusion exploit the two distance metrics effectively and allow the best of the distance metrics to dominate the final classification decision, the improved collaborative representation based on dual distance metric can achieve a very high accuracy rate.
