Abstract

In this paper, we describe a framework for encoding 3D facial triangular mesh surface. We derive shape information from the triangular mesh surface by exploiting specific arrangements of facets in the model. We describe the foundations of the framework and adapt the framework for several original applications including: face landmark detection, frontal face extraction, face orientation and facial surface representation. We validate the framework through experimentation with raw 3D face mesh surfaces and demonstrate that the model allows simpler implementation, more compact representation and encompasses rich shape information that can be usefully deployed both locally and globally across the face in comparison to other standard representations.
