Flexible MQDF classifier model compression
A memory footprint of an Modified Quadratic Discriminant Function (MQDF) pattern recognition classifier is reduced without resulting in unacceptable classification accuracy degradation. Covariance matrices for multiple classes are clustered into a smaller number of matrices where different classes share the same set of eigenvectors. According to another approach, different numbers of principal components are stored for different classes based on criteria such as class usage frequency, larger variation in writing, and the like, resulting in fewer principal components to be stored in memory.
