Two-dimensional principal component analysis (2DPCA) has been widely used to extract image features. As opposed to PCA, 2DPCA directly treats 2D matrices to extract image features instead of transforming 2D matrices into vectors. However, the classical 2DPCA based on <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$F$ </tex-math></inline-formula> -norm square is sensitive to noise. To handle this problem, 2DPCAs based on <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\ell _{1}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> -norm, <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\ell _{p}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> -norm, and other norms have been studied. In this paper, as a further development, 2DPCA based on <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text{T}\ell _{1}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> criterion is proposed, referred as 2DPCA- <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text{T}\ell _{1}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> . Notice that, different from some norms used before, <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text{T}\ell _{1}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> criterion is bounded and Lipschitz-continuous. So it can be expected that our 2DPCA- <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text{T}\ell _{1}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> should be more robust. In fact, the experimental results have shown that its performance is superior to that of classical 2DPCA, 2DPCA-L1, 2DPCAL1-S, N-2-DPCA, G2DPCA, and Angle-2DPCA.
