Face Recognition using 3D Line Edge Map Robust to Expression Changes and Occlusions
Hye-mi Kim, Hochul Shin, Seong Dae Kim · International Conference on Advanced Communication Technology · 2007
We propose new face recognition algorithm using 3D Line Edge Map as combining 3D information on the edge obtained by stereo camera and the conventional Line Edge Map algorithm. As a similarity measure of 3D Line Edge Map, weighted partial and spatially well-localized line segment Hausdorff Distance (WPSLHD) is proposed. WPSLHD is a measure which is robust to expression changes, facial occlusions, and depth outliers. The proposed face recognition system performances are evaluated under expression changes and facial occlusions.
