3D Facial Recognition
How stuff works?
The core capabilities of the 3D face reader solutions are achieved with advanced 3D machine vision technology. Machine vision is perfectly suited for facial recognition and we have developed a suite of industry leading solutions around this core capability.
The need for a facial recognition system, which is both accurate and non-intrusive, has been sharply increased by wide scale public demand for more effective security and monitoring systems. Additionally there are new incentives to invest in security infrastructure by government, law enforcement agencies and corporations.
While most of the facial recognition systems in the biometric world market are two-dimensional, their security promises are debatable. We unleashed the constraints and brought a whole new dimension to facial recognition technology.
Introduction
Face recognition technology from Bioscrypt enables real-time capture of three-dimensional images of a subject’s face. The unique features of the subject’s cranio-facial structure are extracted and stored as a biometric template for automated face recognition. The method can be used either in identification or in verification.
| Steps involved in 3D Facial Recognition Face Capture ▪ The 3D face reader projects an invisible structured light pattern onto the face ▪ The light pattern is distorted by the surface geometry of the face ▪ The Face Reader’s camera precisely records the pattern distortion |
 |
3D Reconstruction Process ▪ The distorted pattern is input into a 3D reconstruction algorithm ▪ A three-dimensional mesh of the face is created by means of triangulation ▪ The resulting face geometry is measurable in sub-millimeters ▪ The 3D reconstructed image is NOT stored in the database |
 |
Feature Extraction & Matching ▪ A biometric template is extracted from the 3D facial geometry (skull shape, etc.) ▪ The resulting numeric template is stored in an enrollment database ▪ Identification is performed by matching the biometric template against the enrollment database |
