Matrix Recovery with Implicitly Low-Rank Data
In this paper, we study the problem of matrix recovery, which aims to restore
a target matrix of authentic samples from grossly corrupted observations. Most
of the existing methods, such as the well-known Robust Principal Component
Analysis (RPCA), assume that the target matrix we wish to recover is low-rank.
However, the underlying data structure is often non-linear in practice,
therefore the low-rankness assumption could be violated. To tackle this issue,
we propose a novel method for matrix recovery in this paper, which could well
handle the case where the target matrix is low-rank in an implicit feature
space but high-rank or even full-rank in its original form. Namely, our method
pursues the low-rank structure of the target matrix in an implicit feature
space. By making use of the specifics of an accelerated proximal gradient based
optimization algorithm, the proposed method could recover the target matrix
with non-linear structures from its corrupted version. Comprehensive
experiments on both synthetic and real datasets demonstrate the superiority of
our method
Low-Rank Matrix Recovery from Noisy via an MDL Framework-based Atomic Norm
The recovery of the underlying low-rank structure of clean data corrupted
with sparse noise/outliers is attracting increasing interest. However, in many
low-level vision problems, the exact target rank of the underlying structure,
the particular locations and values of the sparse outliers are not known. Thus,
the conventional methods can not separate the low-rank and sparse components
completely, especially gross outliers or deficient observations. Therefore, in
this study, we employ the Minimum Description Length (MDL) principle and atomic
norm for low-rank matrix recovery to overcome these limitations. First, we
employ the atomic norm to find all the candidate atoms of low-rank and sparse
terms, and then we minimize the description length of the model in order to
select the appropriate atoms of low-rank and the sparse matrix, respectively.
Our experimental analyses show that the proposed approach can obtain a higher
success rate than the state-of-the-art methods even when the number of
observations is limited or the corruption ratio is high. Experimental results
about synthetic data and real sensing applications (high dynamic range imaging,
background modeling, removing shadows and specularities) demonstrate the
effectiveness, robustness and efficiency of the proposed method.Comment: 12 pages, 12 figure
