Recently, cross-view feature learning has been a hot topic in machine learning due to the wide applications of multiview data. Nevertheless, the distribution discrepancy between cross-views leads to the fact that instances of the different views from same class are farther than those within the same view but from different classes. To address this problem, in this paper, we develop a novel cross-view discriminative feature subspace learning method inspired by layered visual perception from human. Firstly, the proposed method utilizes a separable low-rank self-representation model to disentangle the class and view structure layers, respectively. Secondly, a local alignment is constructed with two designed graphs to guide the subspace decomposition in a pairwise way. Finally, the global discriminative constraint on distribution center in each view is designed for further alignment improvement. Extensive cross-view classification experiments on several public datasets prove that our proposed method is more effective than other existing feature learning methods.
