| contents | 3D face registration is an important process in which a 3D face model is aligned and mapped to a template face. However, the task of 3D face registration becomes particularly challenging when dealing with partial face data, where only limited facial information is available. To address this challenge, this paper presents a novel deep learning-based approach that combines quasi-conformal geometry with deep neural networks for partial face registration. The proposed framework begins with a Landmark Detection Network that utilizes curvature information to detect the presence of facial features and estimate their corresponding coordinates. These facial landmark features serve as essential guidance for the registration process. To establish a dense correspondence between the partial face and the template surface, a registration network based on quasiconformal theories is employed. The registration network establishes a bijective quasiconformal surface mapping aligning corresponding partial faces based on detected landmarks and curvature values. It consists of the Coefficients Prediction Network, which outputs the optimal Beltrami coefficient representing the surface mapping. The Beltrami coefficient quantifies the local geometric distortion of the mapping. By controlling the magnitude of the Beltrami coefficient through a suitable activation function, the bijectivity and geometric distortion of the mapping can be controlled. The Beltrami coefficient is then fed into the Beltrami solver network to reconstruct the corresponding mapping. The surface registration enables the acquisition of corresponding regions and the establishment of point-wise correspondence between different partial faces, facilitating precise shape comparison through the evaluation of point-wise geometric differences at these corresponding regions. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. |
