| dc.description.abstract | A reduced order representation of a large data set is often realized through a principle component analysis based upon a singular value decomposition (SVD) of the data. The left singular vectors of a truncated SVD provide the reduced basis. In several applications such as facial analysis and protein dynamics, structural symmetry is inherent in the data. Typically, reflective or rotational symmetry is expected to be present in these applications. In protein dynamics, determining this symmetry allows one to provide SVD major modes of motion that best describe the symmetric movements of the protein. In face detection, symmetry in the SVD allows for more efficient compression algorithms. Here, we present a method to compute the plane of reflective symmetry or the axis of rotational symmetry of a large set of points. Moreover, we develop a symmetry preserving singular value decomposition (SPSVD) that best approximates the given set while respecting the symmetry. Interesting subproblems arise in the presence of noisy data or in situations where most, but not all, of the structure is symmetric. An important part of the determination of the axis of rotational symmetry or the plane of reflective symmetry is an iterative re-weighting scheme. This scheme is rapidly convergent in practice and seems to be very effective in ignoring outliers (points that do not respect the symmetry). | en_US |
