Extrinsic Kernel Ridge Regression Classifier for Planar Kendall Shape Space
Hwiyoung Lee, Vic Patrangenaru
Kernel methods have had great success in Statistics and Machine Learning. Despite their growing popularity, however, less effort has been drawn towards developing kernel based classification methods on Riemannian manifolds due to difficulty in dealing with non-Euclidean geometry. In this paper, motivated by the extrinsic framework of manifold-valued data analysis, we propose a new positive definite kernel on planar Kendall shape space Σ₂ᵏ, called extrinsic Veronese Whitney Gaussian kernel. We show that our approach can be extended to develop Gaussian kernels on any embedded manifold. Furthermore, kernel ridge regression classifier (KRRC) is implemented to address the shape classification problem on Σ₂ᵏ, and their promising performances are illustrated through the real data analysis.
