ABSTRACT:
This invention relates generally to a system and method for classifying input patterns into two classes, a class-of-interest or a class-other, utilizing an Adaptive Fisher's Linear Discriminant method capable of estimating an optimal Fisher's linear decision boundary for discriminating between the two classes, when training samples are provided a priori only for the class-of-interest. The system and method eliminates the requirement for any a priori knowledge of the other classes in the data set to be classified. The system and method is capable of extracting statistical information corresponding to the “other classes” from the data set to be classified, without recourse to the a priori knowledge normally provided by training samples from the other classes. The system and method can re-optimize (adapt) the decision boundary to provide optimal Fisher's linear discrimination between the two classes in a new data set, using only unlabeled samples from the new data set.
