In this article we propose a polygonal principal curve based nonlinear feature extraction method, which achieves statistical redundancy elimination without loss of information and provides more robust nonlinear pattern identification for high-dimensional data. Recognizing the limitations of linear statistical methods, this article integrates local principal component analysis (PCA) with a polygonal line algorithm to approximate the complicated nonlinear data structure. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can be implemented to reduce the computation complexity for nonlinear feature extraction in multivariate cases.
