ABSTRACT: In this paper, a novel method is proposed for human face recognition from 2.5D range images
using holistic approach. The proposed methodology extracts the edge image and mean curvature image from
a range face image, which are then combined to form a new and efficient feature space for better recognition.
With this kind of feature space, it has been observed that the similarities among intra-class members are much
higher ...
