Robust Tensor Principal Component Analysis: Exact Recovery via Deterministic Model
share
Tensor, also known as multi-dimensional array, arises from many applications in signal processing, manufacturing processes, healthcare, among others. As one of the most popular methods in tensor literature, Robust tensor principal component analysis (RTPCA) is a very effective tool to extract the low rank and sparse components in tensors. In this paper, a new method to analyze RTPCA is proposed based on the recently developed tensor-tensor product and tensor singular value decomposition (t-SVD). Specifically, it aims to solve a convex optimization problem whose objective function is a weighted combination of the tensor nuclear norm and the l1-norm. In most of literature of RTPCA, the exact recovery is built on the tensor incoherence conditions and the assumption of a uniform model on the sparse support. Unlike this conventional way, in this paper, without any assumption of randomness, the exact recovery can be achieved in a completely deterministic fashion by characterizing the tensor rank-sparsity incoherence, which is an uncertainty principle between the low-rank tensor spaces and the pattern of sparse tensor.
