Many situations of our everyday life require our identification. Biometrics-based methods, besides allowing such identification, can help to prevent frauds. Among several biometrics features, face is one of the most popular due to its intrinsic and important properties, such as universality, acceptability, lowcosts, and covert identification. On the other hand, the traditional automatic face recognition methods based on 2D features can not properly deal with some very frequent challenges, such as occlusion, illumination and pose variations. In this paper we propose a new method for face recognition based on the fusion of 3D low-level local features, ACDN+P and 3DLBP, using depth images captured by cheap Kinect V1 sensors. In order to improve the low quality of the point cloud provided by such devices, Symmetric Filling, Iterative Closest Point, and Savitzky-Golay Filter are used in the preprocessing stage of the proposed method. Experimental results obtained on EURECOM Kinect dataset showed that the proposed method can improve the face recognition rates.

Low resolution (LR) in face recognition (FR) surveillance applications will cause the problem of dimensional mismatch between LR image and its high-resolution (HR) template. In this paper, a novel method called kernel coupled cross-regression (KCCR) is proposed to deal with this problem. Instead of processing in the original observing space directly, KCCR projects LR and HR face images into a unified nonlinear embedding feature space using kernel coupled mappings and graph embedding. Spectral regression is further employed to improve the generalization performance and reduce the time complexity. Meanwhile, cross-regression is developed to fully utilize the HR embedding to increase the information of the LR space, thus to improve the recognition performance. Experiments on the FERET and CMU PIE face database show that KCCR outperforms the existing structure-based methods in terms of recognition rate as well as time complexity.
