Face registration deforms a template mesh to closely fit a 3D face scan, the quality of which commonly degrades in non-skin regions (e.g., hair, beard, accessories), because the optimized template-to-scan distance pulls the template mesh…

Using heterogeneous depth cameras and 3D scanners in 3D face verification causes variations in the resolution of the 3D point clouds. To solve this issue, previous studies use 3D registration techniques. Out of these proposed techniques,…
