title = "Landmark detection from 3D mesh facial models for image-based analysis of dysmorphology",
abstract = "Facial landmark detection is a task of interest for facial dysmorphology, an important factor in the diagnosis of genetic conditions. In this paper, we propose a framework for feature points detection from 3D face images. The method is based on 3D Constrained Local Model (CLM) which learns both global variations in the 3D facial scan and local changes around every vertex landmark. Compared to state of the art methods our framework is distinguished by the following novel aspects: 1) It operates on facial surfaces, 2) It allows fusion of shape and color information on the mesh surface, 3) It introduces the use of LBP descriptors on the mesh. We showcase our landmarks detection framework on a set of scans including down syndrome and control cases. We also validate our method through a series of quantitative experiments conducted with the publicly available Bosphorus database.",
