Abstract

This paper studies how the performance of a 3D face recognition system is affected by compression. A novel lossy compression technique tailored for registered 3D data along with a scheme for 3D face registration and recognition are presented and the results discussed. The proposed scheme achieves a significant compression ratio (factor of 35) without the loss of recognition performance.
