Abstract
Tensor principal component pursuit (TPCP) is a powerful approach in the tensor robust principal component analysis (TRPCA), where the goal is to decompose a data tensor to a low-tubal-rank part plus a sparse residual. TPCP is shown to be effective under certain tensor incoherence conditions, which can be restrictive in practice. In this paper, we propose a Modified-TPCP, which incorporates the prior subspace information in the analysis. With the aid of prior info, the proposed method is able to recover the low-tubal-rank and the sparse components under a significantly weaker incoherence assumption. We further design an efficient algorithm to implement Modified-TPCP based upon the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). The promising performance of the proposed method is supported by simulations and real data applications.
