Robust low tubal rank tensor completion via factor tensor norm minimization

Recent research has demonstrated that low tubal rank recovery based on tensor has received extensive attention. In this correspondence, we define tensor double nuclear norm and tensor Frobenius/nuclear hybrid norm to induce a surrogate for tensor tubal rank, and prove that they are equivalent to tensor Schatten-p norm for p = 1 / 2 and p = 2 / 3 . Based on the definition, we propose two novel tractable ten-sor completion models called Double Nuclear norm regularized Tensor Completion (DNTC) and Frobe-nius/Nuclear hybrid norm regularized Tensor Completion (FNTC) by integrating these two norm mini-mization and factorization methods into a joint learning framework. Furthermore, we adopt invertible linear transforms to obtain low tubal rank tensors, which makes the model more flexible and effective. Two efficient algorithms are designed to solve the proposed tensor completion models by incorporat-ing the convexity of the factor norms. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on synthetic and real datasets to achieve better results in comparison with some state-of-the-art approaches.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
