The paper presents a novel method combining multilinear principal component analysis (MPCA) and multilinear discriminant analysis (MDA) to enhance face recognition performance by addressing the dimensionality reduction issues and avoiding the curse of dimensionality. It introduces a unique approach to efficiently determine the best subspace dimensions for tensor objects used in image processing without breaking their structure, leading to decreased execution times and improved recognition accuracy. Experiments on ORL and CMU-PIE databases affirm the effectiveness of the proposed method against traditional algorithms.
