Extrinsic Least Squares Regression with Closed-Form Solution on Product Grassmann Manifold for Video-Based Recognition

الملخص EN

Least squares regression is a fundamental tool in statistical analysis and is more effective than some complicated models with small number of training samples.

Representing multidimensional data with product Grassmann manifold has recently led to notable results in various visual recognition tasks.

This paper proposes extrinsic least squares regression with Projection Metric on product Grassmann manifold by embedding Grassmann manifold into the space of symmetric matrices via an isometric mapping.

The proposed regression has closed-form solution which is more accurate compared with numerical solution of previous least squares regression using geodesic distance.

Experiments on several recognition tasks show that the proposed method achieves considerable accuracy in comparison with some state-of-the-art methods.
