A fast correction approach to tensor robust principal component analysis.

Tensor robust principal component analysis (TRPCA) is a useful approach for obtaining low-rank data corrupted by noise or outliers. However, existing TRPCA methods face certain challenges when it comes to estimating the tensor rank and the sparsity accurately. The commonly used tensor nuclear norm (TNN) may lead to sub-optimal solutions due to the gap between TNN and the tensor rank. Additionally, the ℓ 1 -norm is not an ideal estimation of the ℓ 0 -norm, and solving TNN minimization can be computationally intensive because of the tensor singular value thresholding (t-SVT) scheme. To address these issues, a method called fast correction TNN (FC-TNN) is proposed for TRPCA. In contrast to existing methods, FC-TNN introduces a correction term to bridge the gap between TNN and the tensor rank. Furthermore, a new correction term is employed for the ℓ 1 -norm to achieve the desired solution. To improve computational efficiency, the Chebyshev polynomial approximation (CPA) technique is presented for computing t-SVT without requiring tensor singular value decomposition (t-SVD). The CPA technique is incorporated into the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm to solve the proposed model effectively. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that FC-TNN offers a lower error bound compared to TNN under certain conditions. Extensive experiments conducted on various tensor-based datasets illustrate that the proposed method outperforms several state-of-the-art methods. • We consider the corrected tensor nuclear norm and l1 norm to solve the tensor recovery problem. • The proposed model is a more general framework, including several current methods as special cases. • A fast ADMM algorithm with chebyshev polynomial approximation technique is proposed. • Numerical experiments conducted on real-word datasets demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
