Feature Extraction: Dimensionality Reduction

Feature extraction is a form of dimensionality reduction used in pattern recognition and image processing. It transforms large input data, which may be redundant or irrelevant, into a reduced set of relevant features. This reduced representation of features is expected to capture the essential information from the original large input data in a way that allows the desired task to be performed using fewer resources than would be required to use the full input data.

Feature extraction

In pattern recognition and in image processing, feature extraction is a special form of


dimensionality reduction.
When the input data to an algorithm is too large to be processed and it is suspected to be
notoriously redundant (e.g. the same measurement in both feet and meters) then the input data
will be transformed into a reduced representation set of features (also named features vector).
Transforming the input data into the set of features is called feature extraction. If the
features extracted are carefully chosen it is expected that the features set will extract the relevant
information from the input data in order to perform the desired task using this reduced
representation instead of the full size input.
Feature extraction involves simplifying the amount of resources required to describe a large
set of data accurately.
