Abstract 3D face recognition (FR) has been successfully applied using Convolutional neural networks (CNN) which have demonstrated stunning results in diverse computer vision and image classification tasks. Learning CNNs, however, need to estimate millions of parameters that expect high-performance computing capacity and storage. To deal with this issue, we propose an efficient method based on the quantization of residual features extracted from ResNet-50 pre-trained model. The method starts by describing each 3D face using a convolutional feature extraction block, and then apply the Bag-of-Features (BoF) paradigm to learn deep neural networks (we call it Deep BoF). To do so, we apply Radial Basis Function (RBF) neurons to quantize the deep features extracted from the last convolutional layers. An SVM classifier is then applied to classify faces according to their quantized term vectors. The obtained model is lightweight compared to classical CNN and it allows classifying arbitrary-sized images. The experimental results on the FRGCv2 and Bosphorus datasets show the powerful of our method compared to state of the art methods.

Human face images are the basis not only for person recognition, but for also identifying other attributes like gender, age, ethnicity, and emotional states of a person. Therefore, face is an important biometric identifier in the law enforcement and human–computer interaction (HCI) systems. The 3D human face recognition is emerging as a significant biometric technology. Research interest into 3D face recognition has increased during recent years due to availability of improved 3D acquisition devices and processing algorithms. A 3D face image is represented by 3D meshes or range images which contain depth information. In this paper, the objective is to propose a new 3D face recognition method based on radon transform and symbolic factorial discriminant analysis using KNN and SVM classifier with similarity and dissimilarity measures, which are applied on 3D facial range images. The experimentation is done using three publicly available databases, namely, Bhosphorus, Texas and CASIA 3D face database. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, an approach based on local curvature feature matching for 3D face recognition is proposed. K-L transformation is employed to adjust coordinate system and coarsely align 3D point cloud. Based on B-splines approximation, 3D facial surface reconstruction is implemented. Through analyzing curvature features of the fitted surface, local rigid facial patches are extracted. According to the extracted local patches, feature vectors are constructed to execute final recognition. Experimental results demonstrate high performance of the presented method and also show that the method is fairly effective for 3D face recognition.

Abstract The face is the preferable biometrics for person recognition or identification applications because person identifying by face is a human connate habit. In contrast to 2D face recognition, 3D face recognition is practically robust to illumination variance, facial cosmetics, and face pose changes. Traditional 3D face recognition methods describe shape variation across the whole face using holistic features. In spite of that, taking into account facial regions, which are unchanged within expressions, can acquire high performance 3D face recognition system. In this research, the recognition analysis is based on defining a set of coherent parts. Those parts can be considered as latent factors in the face shape space. Non-negative matrix Factorisation technique is used to segment the 3D faces to coherent regions. The best recognition performance is achieved when the vertices of 20 face regions are utilised as a feature vector for recognition task. The region-based 3D face recognition approach provides a 96.4% recognition rate in FRGCv2 dataset.

Face recognition aims to establish the identity of a person based on facial characteristics and is a challenging problem due to complex nature of the facial manifold. A wide range of face recognition applications are based on classification techniques and a class label is assigned to the test image that belongs to the unknown class. In this paper, a pose invariant deeply learned multiview 3D face recognition approach is proposed and aims to address two problems: face alignment and face recognition through identification and verification setups. The proposed alignment algorithm is capable of handling frontal as well as profile face images. It employs a nose tip heuristic based pose learning approach to estimate acquisition pose of the face followed by coarse to fine nose tip alignment using L2 norm minimization. The whole face is then aligned through transformation using knowledge learned from nose tip alignment. Inspired by the intrinsic facial symmetry of the Left Half Face (LHF) and Right Half Face (RHF), Deeply learned (d) Multi-View Average Half Face (d-MVAHF) features are employed for face identification using deep convolutional neural network (dCNN). For face verification d-MVAHF-Support Vector Machine (d-MVAHF-SVM) approach is employed. The performance of the proposed methodology is demonstrated through extensive experiments performed on four databases: GavabDB, Bosphorus, UMB-DB, and FRGC v2.0. The results show that the proposed approach yields superior performance as compared to existing state-of-the-art methods.
