A novel classifier based on feature line, called the nearest feature centre (NFC) classifier, is proposed for face recognition. NFC uses the new metric, called the feature centre metric, which is different from the classical feature line metric of the nearest feature line (NFL). The experimental results on the ORL face database show that NFC outperforms NFL and the other classifiers based on feature line.
