Bayesian Low Rank Tensor Ring Model for Image Completion

원문 초록

Low rank tensor ring model is powerful for image completion which recovers missing entries in data acquisition and transformation. The recently proposed tensor ring (TR) based completion algorithms generally solve the low rank optimization problem by alternating least squares method with predefined ranks, which may easily lead to overfitting when the unknown ranks are set too large and only a few measurements are available. In this paper, we present a Bayesian low rank tensor ring model for image completion by automatically learning the low rank structure of data. A multiplicative interaction model is developed for the low-rank tensor ring decomposition, where core factors are enforced to be sparse by assuming their entries obey Student-T distribution. Compared with most of the existing methods, the proposed one is free of parameter-tuning, and the TR ranks can be obtained by Bayesian inference. Numerical Experiments, including synthetic data, color images with different sizes and YaleFace dataset B with respect to one pose, show that the proposed approach outperforms state-of-the-art ones, especially in terms of recovery accuracy.
