Abstract
In this paper, we intend to introduce a novel curved 3D face representation. It is constructed on some static parts of the face which correspond to the nose and the eyes. Each part is described by the level curves of the superposition of several geodesic potentials generated from many reference points. We propose to describe the eye region by a bipolar representation based on the superposition of two geodesic potentials generated from two reference points and the nose by a three-polar one (three reference points). We use the BU-3DFE database of 3D faces to test the accuracy of the proposed approach. The obtained results in the sense of the Hausdorff shape distance prove the performance of the novel representation for 3D faces identification. The obtained scores are comparable to the state of the art methods in the most of cases.
