Here, we propose a dictionary learning method based on K-sparse approximation and Orthogonal Procrustes analysis (KSAOPA). KSAOPA uses an iterative alternating optimization strategy, enhancing solution sparsity with k-coefficients Lipschitzian mappings for sparsity(K-LIMAPS) in the sparse coding stage, and reducing errors with Orthogonal Procrustes analysis in the dictionary update stage, leading to stable and precise reconstructions.
