Two-dimensional singular-value decomposition

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In linear algebra, two-dimensional singular-value decomposition (2DSVD) computes the low-rank approximation of a set of matrices such as 2D images or weather maps in a manner almost identical to SVD (singular-value decomposition) which computes the low-rank approximation of a single matrix (or a set of 1D vectors).

SVD

[edit]

Let matrix contains the set of 1D vectors which have been centered. In PCA/SVD, we construct covariance matrix and Gram matrix

,

and compute their eigenvectors and . Since and we have

If we retain only principal eigenvectors in , this gives low-rank approximation of .

2DSVD

[edit]

Here we deal with a set of 2D matrices . Suppose they are centered . We construct row–row and column–column covariance matrices

and

in exactly the same manner as in SVD, and compute their eigenvectors and . We approximate as

in identical fashion as in SVD. This gives a near optimal low-rank approximation of with the objective function

Error bounds similar to Eckard–Young theorem also exist.

2DSVD is mostly used in image compression and representation.
