Three-dimensional (3D) face recognition has been extensively investigated in the last two
decades due to its wide range of applications in many areas, such as security and forensics …

Government agencies are investing a considerable amount of resources into improving
security systems as result of recent terrorist events that dangerously exposed flaws and …

We present a novel anthropometric three dimensional (Anthroface 3D) face recognition
algorithm, which is based on a systematically selected set of discriminatory structural …

The state-of-the-art performance of deep learning algorithms has led to a considerable
increase in the utilization of machine learning in security-sensitive and critical applications …

In recent decades, the use of three-dimensional point clouds has been widespread in the
computer industry. The development of techniques for analyzing point clouds is increasingly …

Biometric identification from three-dimensional (3-D) facial surface characteristics has
become popular, especially in high security applications. In this paper, we propose a fully …

Background Traditional anthropometric studies of human face rely on manual
measurements of simple features, which are labor intensive and lack of full comprehensive …

Automated human face recognition is required in numerous applications. While
considerable progress has been made in color/two dimensional (2D) face recognition, three …

In this paper, we review and compare 3D face registration and recognition algorithms, which
are based solely on 3D shape information and analyze methods based on the fusion of …

Facial expression variations and occlusions complicate the task of identifying persons from
their 3D facial scans. We propose a new 3D face registration and recognition method based …
