The main purpose of multi-view subspace clustering is to reveal the intrinsic low-dimensional architecture of data points according to their multi-view characteristics. Exploring the potential relationship from views is one of the most essential research focuses of the multi-view task. To better utilize the complementary and consistency information from distinct views, we propose a novel robust subspace clustering approach based on consensus representation and orthogonal diversity (RMSCCO). A novel defined orthogonality term is adopted to improve the diversity and decrease the redundance of learning subspace representation. The consensus representation and subspace learning are integrated into one unified framework to characterize the consistency from views. The grouping-enhanced representation is utilized to maintain the local geometric architecture in the original data space. The ℓ2,1-norm regularizer constraint to the noise is applied to improve the robustness. Finally, an optimization algorithm is exploited to solve RMSCCO with the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM). Extensive experimental results on six challenging datasets demonstrate that our approach has accomplished highly qualified performance.
