A generalized two-dimensional quaternion principal component analysis (G2DQPCA) approach with weighting is presented for color image analysis. As a general framework of 2DQPCA, G2DQPCA is flexible to adapt different constraints or requirements by imposing L_p norms both on the constraint function and the objective function. The gradient operator of quaternion vector functions is redefined by the structure-preserving gradient operator of real vector function. Under the framework of minorization-maximization (MM), an iterative algorithm is developed to obtain the optimal closed-form solution of G2DQPCA. The projection vectors generated by the deflating scheme are required to be orthogonal to each other. A weighting matrix is defined to magnify the effect of main features. The weighted projection bases remain the accuracy of face recognition unchanged or moving in a tight range as the number of features increases. The numerical results based on the real face databases validate that the newly proposed method performs better than the state-of-the-art algorithms.
