TL;DR
The paper addresses low-rank recovery and denoising of high-dimensional color data modeled as quaternion tensors. It develops non-convex surrogate penalties for Tucker- and TT-rank notions within the QT-product framework and solves the resulting problems with ADMM-based proximal updates, providing convergence guarantees. The authors introduce LRQTC-NCTR, LRQTC-NCTTR, and TRPCA-NC, and validate their superiority over convex nuclear-norm baselines on color video inpainting and denoising tasks. The work demonstrates robust quaternion-tensor recovery with promising extensions to higher-dimensional algebras (e.g., Octonions) and potential for parallel computation.
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new approaches for low rank approximation of quaternion tensors \cite{chen2019low,zhang1997quaternions,hamilton1866elements}. The first method uses quasi-norms to approximate the tensor by a low-rank tensor using the QT-product \cite{miao2023quaternion}, which generalizes the known L-product to N-mode quaternions. The second method involves Non-Convex norms to approximate the Tucker and TT-rank for the completion problem. We demonstrate that the proposed methods can effectively approximate the tensor compared to the convexifying of the rank, such as the nuclear norm. We provide theoretical results and numerical experiments to show the efficiency of the proposed methods in the Inpainting and Denoising applications.
