Low-rank representation (LRR) has recently attracted great interest due to its pleasing efficacy in exploring low-dimensional sub-space structures embedded in data. One of its successful applications is subspace clustering which means data are clustered according to the subspaces they belong to. In this paper, at a higher level, we intend to cluster subspaces into classes of subspaces. This is naturally described as a clustering problem on Grassmann manifold. The novelty of this paper is to generalize LRR on Euclidean space into the LRR model on Grassmann manifold. The new method has many applications in computer vision tasks. The paper conducts the experiments over two real world examples, clustering handwritten digits and clustering dynamic textures. The experiments show the proposed method outperforms a number of existing methods.
