We propose to use low-rank matrix approximation using the component-wise L1-norm for direct imaging of exoplanets. Exoplanet detection is a challenging task for three main reasons: (1) the host star is several orders of magnitude brighter than exoplanets, (2) the angular distance between exoplanets and star is usually very small, and (3) the speckles are very similar to the exoplanet signal both in shape and intensity. First, we empirically examine the statistical noise assumptions of the models, second, we evaluate the performance of the proposed L1 low-rank approximation (L1-LRA) algorithm based on visual comparisons and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. We compare the results of the L1-LRA with the widely used truncated singular value decomposition (SVD) based on the L2 norm in two different annuli, one close to the star and one far away.
