A novel method is presented to address 3D face recognition using scale-invariant feature transform(SIFT) features on 3D meshes. After preprocessing, shape index extrema on the 3D facial surface are selected as keypoints in the difference scale space and the unstable keypoints are removed after two screening steps. Then, a local coordinate system for each keypoint is established by principal component analysis(PCA).Next, two local geometric features are extracted around each keypoint through the local coordinate system. Additionally, the features are augmented by the symmetrization according to the approximate left-right symmetry in human face. The proposed method is evaluated on the Bosphorus, BU-3DFE, and Gavab databases, respectively. Good results are achieved on these three datasets. As a result, the proposed method proves robust to facial expression variations, partial external occlusions and large pose changes.展开更多

The modified SIFT local descriptor, more distinctive than the general intensity and gradient features, is used to characterize the image features in the vicinity of each pixel at each resolution level during the segmentation optimization procedure. Experimental results show that the proposed method is more robust and accurate than the original ASMs in terms of an average overlap percentage and average contour distance in segmenting the lung fields from an available public database.展开更多
