Symposium: 3D Face and Body Modeling and Analysis

abstract

The use of 3D scan data for face and body modeling and recognition purposes has become a popular research area. With high recognition rates reported for several large sets of 3D face scans, the 3D shape information of the face proved to be a useful contribution to person identification. A major advantage of 3D scan data over 2D color data, is that variations in scaling and illumination have less influence on the appearance of the acquired data. However, scan data suffers from noise and missing data due to self-occlusion. To deal with these problems, 3D modeling and analysis methods should be robust to noise and missing data, or the noise has to be removed and the holes interpolated. In this symposium, various state of the art methods and aspects of 3D face and body scanning, modeling, and recognition are discussed.
