Summary: | Cross-manifold clustering is an extreme challenge learning problem. Since the low-density hypothesis is not satisfied in cross-manifold problems, many traditional clustering methods failed to discover the cross-manifold structures. In this article, we propose multiple flat projections clustering (MFPC) for cross-manifold clustering. In our MFPC, the given samples are projected into multiple localized flats to discover the global structures of implicit manifolds. Thus, the intersected clusters are distinguished in various projection flats. In MFPC, a series of nonconvex matrix optimization problems is solved by a proposed recursive algorithm. Furthermore, a nonlinear version of MFPC is extended via kernel tricks to deal with a more complex cross-manifold learning situation. The synthetic tests show that our MFPC works on the cross-manifold structures well. Moreover, experimental results on the benchmark datasets and object tracking videos show excellent performance of our MFPC compared with some state-of-the-art manifold clustering methods. |
