Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we studied preponderantly about two portions, 'How to obtain a 3-D image from a single 2-D photograph', and 'A technique about automatic 3-D facial recognition'. In the former about 3-D measurement of face, we realized 3-D image measurement of the face based on optimal pattern projection technique, and 3-D image measurement of the face by near-infrared pattern projection. By using the technique, a simple high speed face 3-D measurement system can be realized by 1 or 2 photography using easy equipment like a DLP projector and a digital camera.
In the latter about 3-D facial recognition, we proposed a high speed facial recognition method based on 3-D histogram analysis. Moreover, we proposed a highly precise facial recognition method which compared 3-D form of the face and used the ICP algorithm based on the degree of similar.
