An Intrinsic Framework for Analysis of Facial Surfaces

Résumé

A quantitative analysis of shapes of facial surfaces can play an important role in biometric authentication. The main difficulty in comparing shapes of surfaces is the lack of a canonical system to represent all surfaces. This paper overcomes that problem by proposing a specific coordinate system, on facial surfaces, that enables comparisons of geometries of faces. In this system, a facial surface is represented as a path on the space of closed curves, called facial curves, where each curve is a level curve of distance function from the tip of the nose. Defining H to be the space of paths on the space of closed curves, the paper studies the differential geometry of H and endows it with a Riemannian. Using numerical techniques, it computes geodesic paths between elements of H that represent individual facial surfaces. This Riemannian analysis of faces is then used to: (i) find an optimal deformation from one face to another, (ii) define and compute an average face for a given set of faces, and (iii) compute distances between faces to quantify differences in their shapes. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate and support these ideas.
