Under the normalization of epidemic control in COVID-19, it is essential to realize fast and high-precision face recognition without feeling for epidemic prevention and control. This paper proposes an innovative Laplacian pyra- mid algorithm for deep 3D face recognition, which can be used in public. Through multi-mode fusion, dense 3D alignment and multi-scale residual fu- sion are ensured. Firstly, the 2D to 3D structure representation method is used to fully correlate the information of crucial points, and dense align- ment modeling is carried out. Then, based on the 3D critical point model, a five-layer Laplacian depth network is constructed. High-precision recognition can be achieved by multi-scale and multi-modal mapping and reconstruction of 3D face depth images. Finally, in the training process, the multi-scale residual weight is embedded into the loss function to improve the network's performance. In addition, to achieve high real-time performance, our net- work is designed in an end-to-end cascade. While ensuring the accuracy of identification, it guarantees personnel screening under the normalization of epidemic control. This ensures fast and high-precision face recognition and establishes a 3D face database. This method is adaptable and robust in harsh, low light, and noise environments. Moreover, it can complete face reconstruction and recognize various skin colors and postures.
