Novel Keypoint-based Multiple Triangle Statistics (KMTS) are proposed for 3D face representation.
The proposed local descriptor is robust to partial facial data and expression/pose variations.
A Two-Phase Weighted Collaborative Representation Classification (TPWCRC) framework is used to perform face recognition.
The proposed classification framework can effectively address the single sample problem.
State-of-the-art performance on six challenging datasets with high efficiency is achieved.
