Traditional clustering methods, which vectorize the images for clustering, frequently fail to consider the intrinsic structure of imaging data. Hence, a tensorbased clustering framework is proposed, which leverages the self-expressiveness property of submodules to preserve the spatial characteristics of images. To capture better low rankness and self-expressiveness property, an l 1 2 -induced Tensor Nuclear Norm (TNN) is proposed. In the submodule structural constraint, l 1 2 regularization is employed because of its inherent noise robustness and the ability to provide a more sparser solution. An optimization problem is formulated using the capabilities of l 1 2 -induced TNN and l 1 2 regularization. Three popular datasets are used to evaluate the performance of proposed method. The results show that proposed method shows improved clustering results than the state-of-the-art methods compared.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
