Tensor Factorization-Based Method for Tensor Completion with Spatio-temporal Characterization

In this paper, we propose a novel tensor factorization-based method for the third-order tensor completion problem with spatio-temporal characterization. For this aim, we consider tensor fibered rank, which extends tubal rank, to improve the flexibility and accuracy of data characterization. Based on this rank, we apply a factorization-based method to complete the third-order low-rank tensors with spatio-temporal characteristics, which are intrinsic features of image, video and internet traffic tensor data. The model not only makes good use of the low-rank structure of tensors, but also takes into account the spatio-temporal characteristics of the data. Finally, we report numerical results on completing image, video and internet traffic data. The results demonstrate that our method outperforms some existing methods.
