Abstract: Novel transform domain formulations and implementations of PCA techniques will be given. It will be shown that this new approach results in considerable computational and storage savings while yielding very high accuracy. Useful applications such as Facial and Automatic Target Recognition are given confirming the considerable performance improvement.
