Over the last couple of years, face recognition researchers have been developing new
techniques. These developments are being fueled by advances in computer vision …

This paper outlines methods to detect key anchor points in 3D face scanner data. These
anchor points can be used to estimate the pose and then match the test image to a 3D face …

We present a new algorithm for 3D face recognition, and compare its performance to that of
previous approaches. We focus especially on the case of facial expression change between …

3D face recognition has lately been attracting ever increasing attention. In this paper we
review the full spectrum of 3D face processing technology, from sensing to recognition. The …

The latest development in range imaging 3D-cameras is presented, the so-called
SwissRanger3000 (SR3000). The SR3000 includes a modularly built electronics stack. This …

From a user's perspective, face recognition is one of the most desirable biometrics, due to its
non-intrusive nature; however, variables such as face expression tend to severely affect …

In this paper, we present a highly accurate, realtime face recognition system for cooperative
user applications. The novelties are:(1) a novel design of camera hardware, and (2) a …

Multi-biometric 2D and 3D ear recognition are explored. The data set used represents over
300 persons, each with images acquired on at least two different dates. Among them, 169 …

Abstract 2D intensity images and 3D shape models are both useful for face recognition, but
in different ways. While algorithms have long been developed using 2D or 3D data, recently …

It is becoming increasingly important to be able to credential and identify authorized
personnel at key points of entry. Such identity management systems commonly employ …
