contents This study investigates the theoretical and computational aspects of quaternion generalized inverses, focusing on outer inverses and {1,2}-inverses with prescribed range and/or null space constraints. In view of the non-commutative nature of quaternions, a detailed characterization of the left and right range and null spaces of quaternion matrices is presented. Explicit representations for these inverses are derived, including full rank decomposition-based formulations. We design two efficient algorithms: one leveraging the Quaternion Toolbox for MATLAB (QTFM), and the other employing a complex structure preserving approach based on the complex representation of quaternion matrices. With suitable choices of subspace constraints, these outer inverses unify and generalize several classical inverses, including the Moore-Penrose inverse, the group inverse, and the Drazin inverse. The proposed methods are validated through numerical examples and applied to two real-world tasks: quaternion-based color image deblurring, which preserves inter-channel correlations, and robust filtering of chaotic 3D signals, demonstrating their effectiveness in high-dimensional settings.
