This page provides the the landmarks and facial signatures automatically generated with the PDM-based algorithm described in the paper "3D face signatures for robust recognition using subspace linear discriminant analysis" by F. Daniyal, P. Nair, A. Cavallaro.

The landmarks were extracted from the face scans in the BU-3DFE [1] database. Each file contains 49 landmarks in the following format (ASCII)

idx | x | y | z

The locations of the landmarks with the corresponding 'idx' (1-49) are shown in the figure below. These files follow the same nomenclature as the database files.
