2D-3D FACEngine® FOR Geometric Normalization.
Animetrics is the first company to field a fully enabled face recognition technology based n the Animetrics 2D-3D FACEngine®. Given a 3D avatar generated from a 2D image, then it is possible to position in space at any scale and any orientation the 3D geometry allowing for the generation of normalized imagery during enrollment and ID system matching. Poor pose via arbitrary scale, position and orientation of the individuals subject being enrolled or probed presents significant challenges to all ID systems. This is depicted in the Figure.
