• 3D portraits deliver a set of 3D points that give more and better information than a simple 2D print.

• 3D drastically increases the performance of facial recognition, in the day-to-day environment.

• 3D portraits are the natural next step to improve the security of ID, as they are even harder to fake or spoof.

Higher added-value 3D solutionsWhy changing ID from 2D to 3D portrait?

• 2D photos remove a dimension we unconsciously use in our life to identify people. 3D portrait gives back this dimension in order to increase ease of identification.

• 3D photos give better details on some skin or head aspects, like face mole, nose shape, lips and chin, which are smoothed in 2D.

• 3D photos are numerical 3D files, that can dynamically be handled and rotated by the authority, to help the human brain build its own image of the face.

Higher added-value 3D solutions3D portraits is the natural portrait of the future

34

Our brain works in 3D thanks to our stereoscopic vision:

just give it back this dimension to help it recognise a face!

• Current facial recognition algorithm compares a live 2D face with a database 2D face:

– As the ICAO standards require straight frontal photos in optimal position and lighting situations, the official database, or the image available on the ID, are stored like this.

– The algorithm works most efficiently when a face is close to optimal positioning: straight frontal look, two fully visible eyes, clear chin and forehead

– Consequently facial recognition works well in a ‘collaborative situation’ when live 2D face images are taken with the knowledge and cooperation of the applicant.

– But, if the ‘live 2D face’ comes from a surveillance camera, its delivers facial images outside of the optimal positioning
