Many approaches have been proposed to locate faces in an image. There are, however, two problems in previous facial shape models using feature points. First, the dimension of the s...
Wavelet methods for geometry encoding is a recently emerged superset of multiresolution analysis which has proven to be very efficient in term of compression and adaptive transmis...
The bidirectional texture function (BTF) describes texture appearance variations due to varying illumination and viewing conditions. This function is acquired by large number of m...
In the past decade or so, subspace methods have been largely used in face recognition ? generally with quite success. Subspace approaches, however, generally assume the training d...
In this paper we describe a multi-modal ear and face biometric system. The system is comprised of two components: a 3D ear recognition component and a 2D face recognition componen...
