Face-space: linking three-dimensional shape and human perception across changing viewing conditions.

人类，以及越来越多的机器，利用人脸来识别和与人互动。其中一个可用的信息来源是面部的三维形状。与照片不同的是，这些信息不会随着光线和视点的变化而变化。这个项目将把脸型的测量与我们用来做决定的面孔之间的相同点和不同点联系起来。这将促进3D数据库在各种应用中的使用，包括建立身份，对犯罪或灾难受害者进行面部重建，使数据库可搜索，计算机动画，考古和整形手术。特别是，这项工作将使物理数据库与人类感知相关。

People, and increasingly machines, use faces to identify and interact with people. One source of information available for this is the three-dimensional (3D) shape of the face. This information, unlike a photograph, does not change with lighting and viewpoint. This project will link measurements of face shape to the perceived similarities and differences between faces we use to make decisions. This will facilitate the use of 3D databases in diverse applications including establishing identity, making facial reconstructions of victims of crime or disaster, making databases searchable, computer animation, archaeology, and plastic surgery. In particular the work will make physical databases relevant to human perception.
