Background:

• Robust dimensionality reduction is crucial for multivariate data processing.
• Two-dimensional principal component analysis based on L1-norm (2DPCA-L1) offers robust dimensionality reduction in the image domain.
• However, 2DPCA-L1 basis vectors are dense, limiting sparse modeling applications.

• To combine the robustness of 2DPCA-L1 with sparsity-inducing lasso regularization.
• To develop an effective unsupervised learning approach for image analysis.

Main Methods:

• Developed 2DPCA-L1 with sparsity (2DPCAL1-S) by integrating L1-norm robustness and lasso regularization.
• Designed an iterative algorithm for computing the sparse basis vectors.
• Applied the method to image datasets for dimensionality reduction.

Main Results:

• The proposed 2DPCAL1-S method effectively induces sparsity in basis vectors.
• Experimental results on image datasets demonstrate the method's effectiveness.
• Achieved robust dimensionality reduction with sparse representations.

Conclusions:

• 2DPCAL1-S provides a powerful approach for robust and sparse dimensionality reduction in image analysis.
• The integration of L1-norm and lasso regularization enhances unsupervised learning capabilities.
• The developed iterative algorithm efficiently computes sparse basis vectors, confirming the method's practical utility.
