Abstract

In order to efficiently utilize the information in the data and eliminate the negative effects of outliers in the principal component analysis (PCA) method, in this paper, we propose a novel robust sparse PCA method based on maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) with high-order manifold constraints called the RHSPCA. Compared with the traditional PCA methods, the proposed RHSPCA has the following benefits: 1) the MCC regression term is more robust to outliers than the MSE-based regression term; 2) thanks to the high-order manifold constraints, the low-dimensional representations can preserve the local relations of the data and greatly improve the clustering and classification performance for image processing tasks; and 3) in order to further counteract the adverse effects of outliers, the MCC-based samples' mean is proposed to better centralize the data. We also propose a new solver based on the half-quadratic technique and accelerated block coordinate update strategy to solve the RHSPCA model. Extensive experimental results show that the proposed method can outperform the state-of-the-art robust PCA methods on a variety of image processing tasks, including reconstruction, clustering, and classification, on outliers contaminated datasets.
