Dimensionality reduction with image data
A common objective in image analysis is dimensionality reduction. The most common often used data-exploratory technique with this objective is principal component analysis. We propose a new method based on the projection of the images as matrices after a Procrustes rotation and show that it leads to a better reconstruction of images
A Nonconvex Projection Method for Robust PCA
Robust principal component analysis (RPCA) is a well-studied problem with the
goal of decomposing a matrix into the sum of low-rank and sparse components. In
this paper, we propose a nonconvex feasibility reformulation of RPCA problem
and apply an alternating projection method to solve it. To the best of our
knowledge, we are the first to propose a method that solves RPCA problem
without considering any objective function, convex relaxation, or surrogate
convex constraints. We demonstrate through extensive numerical experiments on a
variety of applications, including shadow removal, background estimation, face
detection, and galaxy evolution, that our approach matches and often
significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art in various ways.Comment: In the proceedings of Thirty-Third AAAI Conference on Artificial

Relaxed 2-D Principal Component Analysis by Norm for Face Recognition
A relaxed two dimensional principal component analysis (R2DPCA) approach is
proposed for face recognition. Different to the 2DPCA, 2DPCA- and G2DPCA,
the R2DPCA utilizes the label information (if known) of training samples to
calculate a relaxation vector and presents a weight to each subset of training
data. A new relaxed scatter matrix is defined and the computed projection axes
are able to increase the accuracy of face recognition. The optimal -norms
are selected in a reasonable range. Numerical experiments on practical face
databased indicate that the R2DPCA has high generalization ability and can
achieve a higher recognition rate than state-of-the-art methods.Comment: 19 pages, 11 figure
