3D face recognition systems deliver more accurate results than their 2D counterparts by measuring the geometry of rigid facial features. 3D face recognition systems could accurately recognize human faces even under dim lights. With varying facial positions and expressions, 2D face recognition systems face difficulties while operating in such conditions. The 3D face recognition technique uses sensors that help capture 3D face images and track persons’ faces in real time with improved precision; moreover, these systems identify an individual irrespective of variations in their poses and expressions, and lighting conditions. Owing to the higher accuracy of 3D facial recognition systems, their deployment is on the rise in public safety systems at airports, and border protection and surveillance check posts. Thus, with the growing research and development efforts, 3D recognition systems are leading to significant future trends in the facial recognition market.
