Non-rigid visible and infrared face registration via regularized Gaussian fields criterion

作者:

Highlights:

• We analyze the robustness of Gaussian fields criterion both in theory and experiment.

• The Gaussian fields criterion is generalized from rigid to the non-rigid case.

• We propose a new non-rigid registration method to deal with more real-world problems.

• A sparse approximation on the transformation is applied to speed up the method.

• We customize and apply the proposed method to visible/thermal IR face registration.
