The present invention relates to the technical field of
data processing. Disclosed is a handwritten numeral classification method. The method comprises: acquiring
raw data having a category
label, mapping an input
data space to a
Hilbert space, and executing both subsequent PCA
dimensionality reduction and construction of a classification model in the
Hilbert space; calculating a mean value and a sample
covariance matrix of data of each category, so as to obtain a common
covariance matrix of a set of samples; performing spectrum
decomposition on the common
covariance matrix, so as to obtain corresponding eigenvalues and orthogonal eigenvectors; selecting eigenvectors corresponding to k features having the largest eigenvalues, so as to form a
data matrix after feature reduction, and using the matrix to map the
raw data to a low-dimensional space, so as to obtain
eigenvalues and eigenvectors in the low-dimensional space; and replacing eigenvalues of a
covariance matrix after feature reduction with an estimated value of a
population eigenvalue, performing spectrum correction on a sample
covariance matrix, so as to form a spectrum correction
discriminant analysis function, and determining a
category attribute of a new sample by means of the function.
