                         both the singularity and instability of the within-class scatter 
                         matrix. In practice, particularly in image recognition 
                         applications such as face recognition, there are often a large 
                         number of pixels or pre-processed features available, but the 
                         total number of training patterns is limited and commonly less 
                         than the dimension of the feature space. In this paper, a maximum 
                         uncertainty LDA-based method is proposed. It is based on a 
                         straightforward stabilisation approach for the within-class 
                         scatter matrix. In order to evaluate its effectiveness, 
                         experiments on face recognition using the well-known ORL and FERET 
                         face databases were carried out and compared with other LDA-based 
                         methods. The results indicate that our method improves the LDA 
                         classification performance when the within-class scatter matrix is 
                         not only singular but also poorly estimated, with or without a 
                         Principal Component Analysis intermediate step and using less 
                         linear discriminant features.",
