In this paper we propose a robust face recognition algorithm for low resolution RGB-D Kinect data. Many techniques are proposed for image preprocessing due to the noisy depth data. First, facial symmetry is exploited based on the 3D point cloud to obtain a canonical frontal view image irrespective o...
