Abstract:  Least Squares Regression (LSR) is a common approach for subspace segmentation, it is very efficient due to a closed form solution. However, spectral clustering is exploited in LSR to obtain the final segmentation results. The drawback of spectral clustering is that it randomly initializes the cluster centers, which may undermine the subsequent clustering performance. In order to tackle this problem, this paper presents an improved LSR algorithm (LSR-DC) based on two characteristics of cluster centers, i.e. local density and distance. Experimental results on the Extended Yale B database show that LSR-DC is robust and is superior to the existing LSR subspace segmentation methods.

Key words:  least squares regression, subspace segmentation, clustering, local density, distance
