A Mobile Structured Light System for 3D Face Acquisition

A mobile sensor based on fringe projection techniques is developed with the goal of acquiring face 3D and color with a smartphone device. The system consists of a portable pico-projector and an Android-based smartphone. The data acquisition, pattern generation. and reconstruction of the final 3D point cloud are all driven by the smartphone. We present results on the root-mean-square error (RMSE) of the sensor and on 3D face matching.
