Quaternion singular value decomposition (QSVD) is a robust technique of digital watermarking which can extract high quality watermarks from watermarked images with low distortion. In this paper, QSVD technique is further investigated and an efficient robust watermarking scheme is proposed. The improved algebraic structure-preserving method is proposed to handle the problem of explosion of complexity occurred in the conventional QSVD design. Secret information is transmitted blindly by incorporating in QSVD two new strategies, namely, coefficient pair selection and adaptive embedding. Unlike conventional QSVD which embeds watermarks in a single imaginary unit, we propose to adaptively embed the watermark into the optimal hiding position using the Normalized Cross-Correlation (NC) method. This avoids the selection of coefficient pair with less correlation, and thus, it reduces embedding impact by decreasing the maximum modification of coefficient values. In this way, compared with conventional QSVD, the proposed watermarking strategy avoids more modifications to a single color image layer and a better visual quality of the watermarked image is observed. Meanwhile, adaptive QSVD resists some common geometric attacks, and it improves the robustness of conventional QSVD. With these improvements, our method outperforms conventional QSVD. Its superiority over other state-of-the-art methods is also demonstrated experimentally.

Quaternion matrix approximation problems construct the approximated matrix via the quaternion singular value decomposition (SVD) by selecting some singular value decomposition (SVD) triplets of quaternion matrices. In applications such as color image processing and recognition problems, only a small number of dominant SVD triplets are selected, while in some applications such as quaternion total least squares problem, small SVD triplets (small singular values and associated singular vectors) and numerical rank with respect to a small threshold are required. In this paper, we propose a randomized quaternion SVD (verbrandsvdQ) method to compute a small number of SVD triplets of a large-scale quaternion matrix. Theoretical results are given about approximation errors and the corresponding algorithm adapts to the low-rank matrix approximation problem. When the restricted rank increases, it might lead to information loss of small SVD triplets. The blocked quaternion randomized SVD algorithm is then developed when the numerical rank and information about small singular values are required. For color face recognition problems, numerical results show good performance of the developed quaternion randomized SVD method for low-rank approximation of a large-scale quaternion matrix. The blocked randomized SVD algorithm is also shown to be more robust than unblocked method through several experiments, and approximation errors from the blocked scheme are very close to the optimal error obtained by truncating a full SVD.
Randomized algorithms provide solutions to two ubiquitous problems: (1) the distributed calculation of a principal component analysis or singular value decomposition of a highly rectangular matrix, and (2) the distributed calculation of a low-rank approximation (in the form of a singular value decomposition) to an arbitrary matrix. Carefully honed algorithms yield results that are uniformly superior to those of the stock, deterministic implementations in Spark (the popular platform for distributed computation); in particular, whereas the stock software will without warning return left singular vectors that are far from numerically orthonormal, a significantly burnished randomized implementation generates left singular vectors that are numerically orthonormal to nearly the machine precision.
The image nonlocal self-similarity (NSS) prior refers to the fact that a local patch often has many nonlocal similar patches to it across the image. In this paper we apply such NSS prior to enhance the robust quaternion matrix completion (QMC) method and significantly improve the inpainting performance. A patch group based NSS prior learning scheme is proposed to learn explicit NSS models from natural color images. The NSS-based QMC algorithm computes an optimal low-rank approximation to the high-rank color image, resulting in high PSNR and SSIM measures and particularly the better visual quality. A new joint NSS-base QMC method is also presented to solve the color video inpainting problem based quaternion tensor representation. The numerical experiments on large-scale color images and videos indicate the advantages of NSS-based QMC over the state-of-the-art methods.
Two-dimensional singular decomposition (2DSVD) has been widely used for image processing tasks, such as image reconstruction, classification, and clustering. However, traditional 2DSVD algorithm is based on the mean square error (MSE) loss, which is sensitive to outliers. To overcome this problem, we propose a robust 2DSVD framework based on a generalized kernel risk sensitive loss (GKRSL-2DSVD) which is more robust to noise and and outliers. Since the proposed objective function is non-convex, a majorization-minimization algorithm is developed to efficiently solve it with guaranteed convergence. The proposed framework has inherent properties of processing non-centered data, rotational invariant, being easily extended to higher order spaces. Experimental results on public databases demonstrate that the performance of the proposed method on different applications significantly outperforms that of all the benchmarks.
In this paper, we propose a computationally efficient iterative algorithm for proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) using random sampling based techniques. In this algorithm, additional rows and columns are sampled and a merging technique is used to update the dominant POD modes in each iteration. We derive bounds for the spectral norm of the error introduced by a series of merging operations. We use an existing theorem to get an approximate measure of the quality of subspaces obtained on convergence of the iteration. Results on various datasets indicate that the POD modes and/or the subspaces are approximated with excellent accuracy with a significant runtime improvement over computing the truncated SVD. We also propose a method to compute the POD modes of large matrices that do not fit in the RAM using this iterative sampling and merging algorithms.
