Low-rank Tensor Grid for Image Completion

Tensor completion estimates missing components by exploiting the low-rank structure of multi-way data. The recently proposed methods based on tensor train (TT) and tensor ring (TR) show better performance in image recovery than classical ones. Compared with TT and TR, the projected entangled pair state (PEPS), which is also called tensor grid (TG), allows more interactions between different dimensions, and may lead to more compact representation. In this paper, we propose to perform image completion based on low-rank tensor grid. A two-stage density matrix renormalization group algorithm is used for initialization of TG decomposition, which consists of multiple TT decompositions. The latent TG factors can be alternatively obtained by solving alternating least squares problems. To further improve the computational efficiency, a multi-linear matrix factorization for low rank TG completion is developed by using parallel matrix factorization. Experimental results on synthetic data and real-world images show the proposed methods outperform the existing ones in terms of recovery accuracy.
