Brucher brucher@ Received 30 September 2007 Revised 21 January 2008 Accepted 7 March 2008 Recommended by Olivier Lezoray Manifold learning may be seen as a procedure aiming at capturing the degrees of freedom and structure characterizing a set of high-dimensional data such as images or patterns. The usual goals are data understanding visualization classification and the computation of means. In a linear framework this problem is typically addressed by principal component analysis PCA . We propose here a nonlinear extension to PCA. Firstly the reduced variables are determined in the metric multidimensional scaling framework. Secondly regression of the original variables with respect to the reduced variables is achieved considering a piecewise linear model. Both steps parameterize the noisy manifold holding the original data. Finally we address the projection of data onto the manifold. The problem is cast in a Bayesian framework. Application of the proposed approach to standard data sets such as the COIL-20 database is presented. Copyright 2008 M. Brucher et al.
