Embedded approach for a Riemannian-based framework of analyzing 3D faces

Developing multimedia embedded applications continues to flourish. In fact, a biometric facial recognition system can be used not only on PCs abut also in embedded systems, it is a potential enhancer to meet security and surveillance needs. The analysis of facial recognition consists offoursteps: face analysis, face expressions’ recognition, missing data completion and full face recognition. This paper proposes a hardware architecture based on an adaptation approach foran algorithm which has proven good face detection and recognition in 3D space. The proposed application was tested using a co design technique based on a mixed Hardware Software architecture: the FPGA platform.
