OLSTEC is an online tensor subspace tracking algorithm based on the Canonical Polyadic decomposition (CP decomposition) (or PARAFAC or CANDECOMP decomposition) exploiting the recursive least squares (RLS).

OLSTEC presents a new online tensor tracking algorithm for the partially observed high-dimensional data stream corrupted by noise. We focus on the fixed-rank higher-order matrix completion (i.e., tensor completion) algorithm with a second-order stochastic gradient descent based on the CP decomposition exploiting the recursive least squares (RLS). Specifically, we consider the case where the partially observed tensor slice is acquired sequentially over time. Then, we estimate {A, B, C} by minimizing the exponentially weighted least squares defined as

• Output results

• Real-world dataset with moving background

  • The input video is created virtually by moving cropped partial image from its original entire frame image of video of "Airport Hall".
  • The cropping window with 288x200 moves from the leftmost partial image to the rightmost, then returns to the leftmost image after stopping a certain period of time.
  • The generated video includes right-panning video from 38-th to 113-th frame and from 342-th to 417-th frame, and left-panning video from 190-th to 265-th frame.
  • results
    • Normalized residual error and running average error.
    • Input image, caluculated low-rank image, and residual error image at 283-th frame.
