This paper develops a novel iterative framework for subspace clustering (SC) in a learned discriminative feature domain. This framework consists of two modules of fuzzy sparse SC and discriminative transformation learning. In the first module, fuzzy latent labels containing discriminative information and latent representations capturing the subspace structure will be simultaneously evaluated in a feature domain. Then the linear transforming operator with respect to the feature domain will be successively updated in the second module with the advantages of more discrimination, subspace structure preservation, and robustness to outliers. These two modules will be alternatively carried out and both theoretical analysis and empirical evaluations will demonstrate its effectiveness and superiorities. In particular, experimental results on three benchmark databases for SC clearly illustrate that the proposed framework can achieve significant improvements than other state-of-the-art approaches in terms of clustering accuracy.
