3D Face RecognitionNick Pears, Tom Heseltine, Marcelo Romero and Jim Austin In our 3D face projects, we use 3D cameras, which are based on stereo and structured light, in order to create a 3D 'point cloud' on the face, which is then meshed. Simultaneously a standard 2D colour-texture image is captured, which is automatically registered with the 3D data. We explore research carried out in the field of face recognition, with the ultimate aim of producing a highly effective face recognition algorithm, for use in such application areas as secure site access, suspect identification and surveillance. A new line of research is proposed to analyse and compare the advantages offered by the various 2D (intensity image) approaches and newly emerging 3D (geometrical surface structure) approaches. We develop and test both 2D and 3D face recognition systems on a large database of subjects and demonstrate how simple image pre-processing methods can significantly improve performance of existing 2D approaches. Current results gathered from tests of our 3D face recognition system indicate that the approach is capable of achieving significantly lower error rates than existing 2D systems.
