Abstract

The definition of Hausdorff distance is a measure of thecorrespondence of two point sets. In this paper, wepropose a novel implementation of a person verificationsystem based on depth-weighted Hausdorff distance(DWHD) using the surface curvatures of the human face.This new method incorporates the depth information andcurvatures of local facial features. The weighting functionused in this paper is based on depth values, which havedifferential properties of a face according to the people,so that the distance of this extracted edge maps will beemphasized. Experimental results based on combinationof the maximum, minimum, and Gaussian curvatureaccording to threshold values show that DWHD achievesrecognition rate of 92.8%, 97.6% and 92.8% of the casesfor 5 ranked candidates, respectively, and the proposedmethod of combined recognition rate for each curvatureshows the best.
