ABSTRACT

With the development of computer vision and computer graphics, face recognition technology has gradually developed from 2D to 3D. Using in-depth information of faces, 3D face recognition solves and overcomes the environment and changes in the expression that 2D face recognition encounters. In this paper, the principles of laser triangulation measurement applied in 3D detection and modeling of faces are studied. A 3D face recognition system is designed on this basis. It not only has universal configuration and simple algorithm as well as other characteristics, but also has certain practicality.
