Abstract

Face study and description through landmarks is a key activity in many fields, in particular the medical one for both corrective and esthetic surgery purposes. In a previous work, we used a geometric approach to automatically extract landmarks working in the Differential Geometry domain, through the coefficients of the Fundamental Forms, the Principal Curvatures, Mean and Gaussian Curvatures, derivatives, and Shape and Curvedness Indexes. In this paper we describe the improvements made to our previously developed algorithm by using a new parameterization of the mesh, new geometrical descriptors, and new conditions.
