Abstract
Methods and systems for facial recognition are provided. The method includes determining a three-dimensional (3D) model of a face of an individual based on different images of the individual. The method also includes extracting two-dimensional (2D) patches from the 3D model. Further, the method includes generating a plurality of signatures of the face using different combinations of the 2D patches, wherein the plurality of signatures correspond to respective views of the 3D model from different angles.
