This paper proposes a new efficient surface representation method for the application of surface matching. We generate a feature carrier for the surface point, which is a set of 2D contours that are the projection of geodesic circles onto the tangent plane. The carrier is named point's fingerprint because its pattern is similar to human fingerprint and discriminating for each point. Each point's fingerprint carries the information of the normal variation along geodesic circles. Corresponding points on surfaces from different views are found by comparing fingerprints of the points. This representation scheme includes more local geometry information than some previous works that only use one contour as the feature carrier. It is not histogram based so that it is able to carry more features to improve comparison accuracy. To speed up the matching, we use a novel candidate point selection method based on the shape irregularity of the projected local geodesic circle. The point's fingerprint is successfully used to register both synthetic and real 2 1/2 data.
