Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new framework for facerecognition from depth images, which is both effective andefficient. It consists of two main stages: First, a hand-crafted low-level feature extractor is applied to the rawdepth data of the face, thus extracting the corresponding de-scriptor images (DIs); Then, a not-so-deep (shallow) con-volutional neural network (SCNN) has been designed thatlearns from the DIs. This architecture showed two main ad-vantages over the direct application of deep-CNN (DCNN)to the depth images of the face: On the one hand, the DIsare capable of enriching the raw depth data, emphasizingrelevant traits of the face, while reducing their acquisitionnoise. This resulted decisive in improving the learning ca-pability of the network; On the other, the DIs capture low-level features of the face, thus playing the role for the SCNNas the first layers do in a DCNN architecture. In this way,the SCNN we have designed has much less layers and canbe trained more easily and faster. Extensive experiments onlow- and high-resolution depth face datasets confirmed usthe above advantages, showing results that are comparableor superior to the state-of-the-art, using by far less trainingdata, time, and memory occupancy of the network
