Fast Robust PCA on Graphs
Mining useful clusters from high dimensional data has received significant
attention of the computer vision and pattern recognition community in the
recent years. Linear and non-linear dimensionality reduction has played an
important role to overcome the curse of dimensionality. However, often such
methods are accompanied with three different problems: high computational
complexity (usually associated with the nuclear norm minimization),
non-convexity (for matrix factorization methods) and susceptibility to gross
corruptions in the data. In this paper we propose a principal component
analysis (PCA) based solution that overcomes these three issues and
approximates a low-rank recovery method for high dimensional datasets. We
target the low-rank recovery by enforcing two types of graph smoothness
assumptions, one on the data samples and the other on the features by designing
a convex optimization problem. The resulting algorithm is fast, efficient and
scalable for huge datasets with O(nlog(n)) computational complexity in the
number of data samples. It is also robust to gross corruptions in the dataset
as well as to the model parameters. Clustering experiments on 7 benchmark
datasets with different types of corruptions and background separation
experiments on 3 video datasets show that our proposed model outperforms 10
state-of-the-art dimensionality reduction models. Our theoretical analysis
proves that the proposed model is able to recover approximate low-rank
representations with a bounded error for clusterable data
Sparse Modeling for Image and Vision Processing
In recent years, a large amount of multi-disciplinary research has been
conducted on sparse models and their applications. In statistics and machine
learning, the sparsity principle is used to perform model selection---that is,
automatically selecting a simple model among a large collection of them. In
signal processing, sparse coding consists of representing data with linear
combinations of a few dictionary elements. Subsequently, the corresponding
tools have been widely adopted by several scientific communities such as
neuroscience, bioinformatics, or computer vision. The goal of this monograph is
to offer a self-contained view of sparse modeling for visual recognition and
image processing. More specifically, we focus on applications where the
dictionary is learned and adapted to data, yielding a compact representation
that has been successful in various contexts.Comment: 205 pages, to appear in Foundations and Trends in Computer Graphics

Total Variation Regularized Tensor RPCA for Background Subtraction from Compressive Measurements
Background subtraction has been a fundamental and widely studied task in
video analysis, with a wide range of applications in video surveillance,
teleconferencing and 3D modeling. Recently, motivated by compressive imaging,
background subtraction from compressive measurements (BSCM) is becoming an
active research task in video surveillance. In this paper, we propose a novel
tensor-based robust PCA (TenRPCA) approach for BSCM by decomposing video frames
into backgrounds with spatial-temporal correlations and foregrounds with
spatio-temporal continuity in a tensor framework. In this approach, we use 3D
total variation (TV) to enhance the spatio-temporal continuity of foregrounds,
and Tucker decomposition to model the spatio-temporal correlations of video
background. Based on this idea, we design a basic tensor RPCA model over the
video frames, dubbed as the holistic TenRPCA model (H-TenRPCA). To characterize
the correlations among the groups of similar 3D patches of video background, we
further design a patch-group-based tensor RPCA model (PG-TenRPCA) by joint
tensor Tucker decompositions of 3D patch groups for modeling the video
background. Efficient algorithms using alternating direction method of
multipliers (ADMM) are developed to solve the proposed models. Extensive
experiments on simulated and real-world videos demonstrate the superiority of
the proposed approaches over the existing state-of-the-art approaches.Comment: To appear in IEEE TI
