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…

Meshes are commonly used as 3D maps since they encode the topology of the scene while being lightweight. Unfortunately, 3D meshes are mathematically difficult to handle directly because of their combinatorial and discrete nature. Therefore,…
