Description
Summary:The paper presents several novel 3D image analysis algorithms, applied towards the segmentation and modeling of faces and hands. These are subsequently used to build a face-based authentication system and a system for human-computer interaction based on static and dynamic gestures. The system relies on an active stereo sensor that uses a structured light approach to obtain 3D information. In this paper we demonstrate how the use of 3D information may significantly improve the efficiency of traditional face and gesture recognition techniques that use 2D images only.
