One of the most powerful methods of color image recognition is the two-dimensional principle component analysis (2DQPCA) approach, which is based on quaternion representation and preserves color information very well. However, the current versions of 2DQPCA are still not feasible to extract different geometric properties of color images according to practical data analysis requirements and they are vulnerable to strong noise. In this paper, a generalized 2DQPCA approach with weighting is presented with imposing $L_{p}$ norms on both constraint and objective functions. As a unit 2DQPCA framework, this new version makes it possible to choose adaptive regularizations and constraints according to actual applications and can extract both geometric properties and color information of color images. 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. This overcomes the shortcomings of traditional 2DQPCA that the recognition rate decreases as the number of principal components increases. The numerical results based on the real face databases validate that the newly proposed method is robust to noise and performs better than the state-of-the-art 2DQPCA-based algorithms and four prominent deep learning methods.
