Orthogonal Low-Rank Projection Learning for Robust Image Feature Extraction

Projecting the original data into a low-dimensional target space for feature extraction is a common method. Recently, presentation-based approaches have been widely concerned and many feature extraction algorithms based on this have been proposed. However, in the process of acquiring real data, the pollution of complex noise cannot always be avoided, which will greatly increase the difficulty of feature extraction and even lead to failed feature extraction results. Thus, a robust image feature extraction model based on Orthogonal Low-Rank Projection Learning (OLRPL) is proposed, in which the introduction of orthogonal matrix can encourage the preservation of the main components of the sample. Particularly, the row sparsity constraint introduced on the projection matrix can encourage the features to be more compact, discriminative and interpretable. In particular, the Weighted Truncated Schatten p-norm (WTSN) is proposed to better solve the optimization problem of low-rank constraints. At the same time, the correntropy is applied in OLRPL to suppress the complex noise in the data and thus improve the robustness of the model. Finally, we specially design a robust classification loss function so that our model can be fitted the supervised scene effectively. Experiments on five general databases have proved that OLRPL has better effectiveness and robustness than existing advanced methods.
