This paper presents a new algorithm for incremental learning, which is named Incremental Simple-PCA. This algorithm adds an incremental learning function to the Simple-PCA that is an approximation algorithm of the principal component analysis where an eigenvector can be calculated by a simple repeated calculation. Using the proposed algorithm, it is possible to update the eigenvector faster by using incremental data. We carry out computer simulations on personal authentication that uses face images and wrist motion recognition that uses wrist EMG by incremental learning to verify the effectiveness of this algorithm. These results were compared with the results of Incremental PCA that introduced incremental learning function to the conventional PCA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
