This paper analyzes the techniques that can be used to perform point cloud data registration for a human face. We found that there is a limitation in full scale viewing on the input data taken from 3D camera which is only represented the front face of a man as the point of view of a camera. This has caused a hole on the surface that is not filled with the point cloud data. This research is done by mapping the retrieved point cloud to the surface of the face template of the human head. By using Coherent Point Drift (CPD) algorithm which is one of the non-rigid registration techniques, the analysis has been done and it shows that the mapping of points for a three-dimensional (3D) face is not done properly where there are some surfaces work well and certain points spread into the wrong area. Consequently, it has resulted in registration failure occurrences due to the concentration of the points which is focusing on the face only.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
