In this paper, we present quaternion matrix algebra techniques that can be used to process the eigen analysis of a color image. Applications of principal component analysis (PCA) in image processing are numerous, and the proposed tools aim to give material for color image processing, that take into account their particular nature. For this purpose, we use the quaternion model for color images and introduce the extension of two classical techniques to their quaternionic case: singular value decomposition (SVD) and Karhunen-Loeve transform (KLT). For the quaternionic version of the KLT, we also introduce the problem of eigenvalue decomposition (EVD) of a quaternion matrix. We give the properties of these quaternion tools for color images and present their behavior on natural images. We also present a method to compute the decompositions using complex matrix algebra. Finally, we start a discussion on possible applications of the proposed techniques in color images processing.
