Abstract

In this paper we propose a fully automatic scheme for 3D face recognition. In our scheme, the original 3D data is automatically converted into the normalized 3D data, then the discriminant common vector (DCV) is introduced for 3D face recognition. We also compare DCV with two common methods, i.e., principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Our experiments are based on the CASIA 3D Face Database, a challenging database with complex variations. The experimental results show that DCV is superior to the other two methods.
