This paper presents an automatic efficient method to fit a statistical deformation model of the human face to 3D scan data. In a global to local fitting scheme, the shape parameter...
Recent work suggests that the human ear varies significantly between different subjects and can be used for identification. In principle, therefore, using ears in addition to the f...
In this paper, we introduce a new approach for partial 3D face recognition, which makes use of shape decomposition over the rigid1 part of a face. To explore the descriptiveness o...
Generative 3D face models are a powerful tool in computer vision. They provide pose and illumination invariance by modeling the space of 3D faces and the imaging process. The powe...

In this paper, we address the use of three dimensional facial shape information for human face identification. We propose a new method to represent faces as 3D registered point cl...
