Robust learning from normals for 3D face recognition (2012)
Journal Article
Marras, I., Zafeiriou, S., & Tzimiropoulos, G. (2012). Robust learning from normals for 3D face recognition. Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, 7584, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-33868-7_23

We introduce novel subspace-based methods for learning from the azimuth angle of surface normals for 3D face recognition. We show that the normal azimuth angles combined with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) using a cosine-based distance measure ca...
