Multiset features extracted from the same pattern usually represent different characteristics of data, meanwhile, matrices or 2-order tensors are common forms of data in real applications. Hence, how to extract multiset features from matrix data is an important research topic for pattern recognition. In this paper, by analyzing the relationship between CCA and 2D-CCA, a novel feature extraction method called multiple rank canonical correlation analysis (MRCCA) is proposed, which is an extension of 2D-CCA. Different from CCA and 2D-CCA, in MRCCA k pairs left transforms and k pairs right transforms are sought to maximize correlation. Besides, the multiset version of MRCCA termed as multiple rank multiset canonical correlation analysis (MRMCCA) is also developed. Experimental results on five real-world data sets demonstrate the viability of the formulation, they also show that the recognition rate of our method is higher than other methods and the computing time is competitive.
