  • Abstract
    The Karhunen-Lo6ve expansion has been used previously to extract important features for representing samples taken from a given distribution. A method is developed herein to use the Karhunen-Loeve expansion to extract features relevant to classification of a sample taken from one of two pattern classes. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the technique.
