In this paper, we describe a system for video-based 3D reconstruction of dynamic scenes using stereo techniques, with an eye to potential applications in human motion capture. We incorporate into our approach recent research results on stereo matching which make the system efficient and produce good-quality results. The implementation is built on top of Intel’s Open Source Computer Vision Libra...

The main contribution of this paper is to present a novel method for automatic 3D face recognition based on sampling a 3D mesh structure in the presence of noise. A structured light method using line projection is employed where a 3D face is reconstructed from a single 2D shot. The process from image acquisition to recognition is described with focus on its real-time operation. Recognition resu...

Ability to stack separate chips in a single package enables threedimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs). Heterogeneous 3D ICs provide even better opportunities to reduce the power and increase the performance per unit area. An important issue in designing a heterogeneous 3D IC is reliability. To achieve this, one needs to select the data mapping and processor layout carefully. This paper addr...

This report is concerned with understanding the interplay between 3D face reconstruction and recognition. We provide analysis for the effect of adaptive sparse 3D reconstructions on recognition rate. This work illustrates that, for 3D face recognition, a proper mesh containing nearly 2% of the facial information and about 5 times the initial/root mesh provides similar recognition rate as one wi...

Osteogenic differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells in three-dimensional (3D) in vitro culture remains poorly understood. Using quantitative real-time RT-PCR techniques, we examined mRNA expression of alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in murine preosteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells cultured for 48 h and 14 days on conventional two-dimensional (2D) poly(l-...

The rapid advent of 3D printing technologies in recent years has far-reaching implications for individuals with disabilities in general and those with blindness in particular. This paper explores how 3D printing is being utilized for the blind as an affordable, easily accessible means of creating tactile representations of visual information and also expounds upon the possibilities which this t...

3D face recognition has gained growing attention in the last years, mainly because both the limitations of 2D images and the advances in 3D imaging sensors. This paper proposes a novel approach to perform 3D face matching by using a new metric, called the Surface Interpenetration Measure (SIM). The experimental results include a comparison with a state-of-art work presented in the literature an...
