In this paper, we present a novel automatic approach based on local shape descriptors to discriminate 3-D facial scans of different individuals. Our approach begins with registration, smoothing and uniform resampling of 3-D face data. Then, uniformly resampled 3-D face data are used to generate shape index, curvedness, gaussian and mean curvature values on each point of the data. Hence we obtain 2-D matrices of shape index, curvedness, gaussian and mean curvature values representing 3-D geometry information. SIFT descriptors are applied to 2-D matrices and high dimensional feature vector having shape information is obtained. Finally, high dimensional feature vector is projected to the low dimensional subspace where projection matrix is calculated by linear discriminant analysis. Features in this low dimensional subspace are compared by using cosine distance similarity metric. Proposed method is shown to have 98.35% and 98.25% detection rates at 0.001 false alarm rate for All vs. All and ROC3 experiments respectively on FRGC v2.0 database. To the best of our knowledge, these are the best results among similar studies available in 3-D face recognition literature.

Face classification with support vector machine Kepenekci, B; Akar, Gözde (2004-04-30) A new approach to feature based frontal face recognition with Gabor wavelets and support vector machines is presented in this paper. The feature points are automatically extracted using the local characteristics of each individual face. A kernel that computes the similarity between two feature vectors, is used to map the face features to a space with higher dimension. To find the identity of a test face, the possible labels of each feature vector of that face is found with support vector machines, then the ...
Investigation of the Effect of Face Regions on Local Shape Descriptor Based 3D Face Recognition İNAN, TOLGA; Halıcı, Uğur (2013-04-26) In this study, the effect of face regions on local shape descriptor based 3D face recognition was investigated. Our approach starts with calculation of the SIFT descriptors on the shape maps of the 3D faces. In the next phase, SIFT descriptors in the selected regions are concatenated to form feature vectors. Then these feature vectors are fed into linear discriminant analysis (LDA) for face recognition. In this study, faces are segmented into 47 regions and the descriptors in one or more regions are concate...
3-d time-varying scene capture technologies - A survey STOYKOVA, Elena; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; BENZİE, Philip; GRAMMALİDİS, Nikos; MALASSİOTİS, Sotiris; OSTERMANN, Joern; PİEKH, Sergej; Sainov, Ventseslav; THEOBALT, Christian; THEVAR, Thangavel; ZABULİS, Xenophon (2007-11-01) Advances in image sensors and evolution of digital computation is a strong stimulus for development and implementation of sophisticated methods for capturing, processing and analysis of 3-D data from dynamic scenes. Research on perspective time-varying 3-D scene capture technologies is important for the upcoming 3DTV displays. Methods such as shape-from-texture, shape-from-shading, shape-from-focus, and shape-from-motion extraction can restore 3-D shape information from a single camera data. The existing te...
RECOGNITION OF 3D OBJECTS FROM UNCONSTRAINED 2D IMAGES BY USING LOCAL APPEARANCE AND AFFINE GEOMETRY Soysal, Medeni; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2013-07-19) This paper introduces a novel method, which utilizes local appearance descriptions in a more efficient way, for 3D object recognition. Geometrically consistent local features are identified using affine 3D and 2D geometric invariants, without any reliance on partial or global planarity. Geometric invariants replace the traditional, highly constrained 2D affine transform estimation/verification step, and provides the ability to directly verify 3D geometric consistency. The accuracy and robustness of the meth...
Classification of Human Carcinoma Cells Using Multispectral Imagery Çinar, Umut; Çetin, Yasemin; Atalay, Rengül; Cetin, Enis (2016-03-03) In this paper, we present a technique for automatically classifying human carcinoma cell images using textural features. An image dataset containing microscopy biopsy images from different patients for 14 distinct cancer cell line type is studied. The images are captured using a RGB camera attached to an inverted microscopy device. Texture based Gabor features are extracted from multispectral input images. SVM classifier is used to generate a descriptive model for the purpose of cell line classification. Th...
