Claim One:
1. A method for recognizing three-dimensional multilayer skin texture, said method comprising: acquiring a three-dimensional facial model with respect to an object via a three-dimensional image capturing device in order to thereafter re-construct said three-dimensional image on a basis of a result identified from a plurality of projected images from different projections by said three-dimensional image capturing device and re-warp said three-dimensional facial model into a frontal face image; extracting via a skin texture recognition module, a micro structure skin signature with respect to a skin surface associated with said object via an hyperspectral imager; computing a weighted subtraction of reflectance with respect to a different wavelength in order to capture a plurality of layers beneath said skin surface so as to characterize said micro structure skin signature for a non-cooperative recognition; classifying volumetric skin data associated with said skin surface via a volumetric pattern; and wherein said volumetric pattern comprises a volumetric local binary pattern that is extracted and constructed as a global feature histogram that represents statistics of a facial micro-pattern and spatial locations and wherein said volumetric pattern is employed for measuring a gray-scale invariant texture that is derived from a general definition of texture in a local neighborhood.
