A New Approach to Determine Three-Dimensional Facial Landmarks

摘要

In recent years, the number of biometric solutions based on 3D face images has increased rapidly. Such solutions provide a much more accurate alternative to those using flat images; however, they are much more complex. The underlined assumption is that a human can distinguish unique features of a face. To date, researchers have not determined which features are the best to be chosen for automatic face recognition. This article presents the preliminary results of research on an alternative form of representation of the face, the application in biometric systems. The representation, is an extension to anthropometric landmarks.
