3d Face Recognition under Isometric Expression Deformations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, 3D face recognition under isometric deformation (induced by facial expressions) is considered. The main objective is to employ the shape descriptors that are invariant to (isometric) deformations to provide an efficient face recognition algorithm. Two methods of the correspondence are utilized for automatic landmark assignment to the query face. One is based on the conventional iterative closest point (ICP) method and another is based upon the geometrical/topological features of the human face. The shape descriptor is chosen to be the well-known geodesic distance (GD) measure. The recognition task is performed on SHREC08 database for both correspondence methods and the effect of feature (GD) vector size as well as landmark positions on the recognition accuracy were argued.

Expression-Invariant 3D Face Recognition
We present a novel 3D face recognition approach based on geometric invariants introduced by Elad and Kimmel. The key idea of the proposed algorithm is a representation of the facial surface, invariant to isometric deformations, such as those resulting from different expressions and postures of the face. The obtained geometric invariants allow mapping 2D facial texture images into special images...

In this paper, a novel 3D Bending Invariant Correlative Features (3D BI-LBP) is used for 3D face recognition to overcome some of the unsolved problems encountered with 3D facial images. In this challenging topic, large expression and pose variations along with data noise are three major obstacles. We first exploit an automatic procedure regarding face area extraction, and then process it to min...
متن کامل3D Face Recognition using Patch Geodesic Derivative Pattern
In this paper, a novel Patch Geodesic Derivative Pattern (PGDP) describing the texture map of a face through its shape data is proposed. Geodesic adjusted textures are encoded into derivative patterns for similarity measurement between two 3D images with different pose and expression variations. An extensive experimental investigation is conducted using the publicly available Bosphorus and BU-3...
متن کاملOn Decomposing an Unseen 3D Face into Neutral Face and Expression Deformations
This paper presents a technique for decomposing an unseen 3D face under any facial expression into an estimated 3D neutral face and expression deformations (the shape residue between the non-neutral and the estimated neutral 3D face). We show that this decomposition gives a robust facial expression classification and improves the accuracy of an off-the-shelf 3D face recognition system. The prop...
متن کاملExpression-invariant Non-rigid 3D Face Recognition: A Robust Approach to Expression-aware Morphing
An automatic approach to the recognition of 3D face under any facial expression is presented. It has the capacity to differentiate between expression deformations, those which are caused by expressions, and interpersonal disparities that are essential for recognition. When two facial scans are matched the expression deformations are morphed out before similarity measure calculation while the in...
