Abstract

In this paper, we present novel algorithms to compute robust statistics from manifold-valued data. Specifically, we present algorithms for estimating the robust Fréchet Mean (FM) and performing a robust exact-principal geodesic analysis (ePGA) for data lying on known Riemannian manifolds. We formulate the minimization problems involved in both these problems using the minimum distance estimator called the L\(_2\)E. This leads to a nonlinear optimization which is solved efficiently using a Riemannian accelerated gradient descent technique. We present competitive performance results of our algorithms applied to synthetic data with outliers, the corpus callosum shapes extracted from OASIS MRI database, and diffusion MRI scans from movement disorder patients respectively.

This research was funded in part by, the NSF grant IIS-1525431 to BCV and the UFII fellowship to MB.
