Enhanced Similarity Measure for Sparse Subspace Clustering Method

摘要

Trying to find clusters in high dimensional data is one of the most challenging issues in machine learning. Within this context, sub-space clustering methods have showed interesting results especially when applied in computer vision tasks. The key idea of these methods is to uncover groups of data that are embedding in multiple underlying sub-spaces. In this spirit, numerous subspace clustering algorithms have been proposed. One of them is Sparse Subspace Clustering (SSC) which has presented notable clustering accuracy. In this paper, the problem of similarity measure used in the affinity matrix construction in the SSC method is discussed. Assessment on motion segmentation and face clustering highlights the increase of the clustering accuracy brought by the enhanced SSC compared to other state-of-the-art subspace clustering methods.
