A new automated approach to high-density facial measurement. Part 1: The image capturing and processing hardware.
Hardware used in the capturing and processing of the stereo image for a previously published description of a facial geometric measurement technique is detailed, together with underlying theoretical concepts regulating the selection of the hardware system components. This is the first follow-up paper in an ongoing research project to develop and document in depth a fully automated technique for photogrammetric determination of a Facial Surface Model (FSM), and ultimately to apply the technique in multidisciplinary research.
