Outline of Final Research Achievements

The difference in accuracy between the SfM and ToF methods was verified by using the data. Face recognition by image processing was performed on infrared camera images. The method of automatic face shape measurement was reviewed and a highly portable measurement system was developed. Using 20 single-board computers and a camera unit, photography by communication control is possible. In addition, the scope of utilization was expanded. Based on the pre-created basic face data, we fit it with the 3D measurement data, and then It made it possible to produce video content.
