Abstract

This paper describes a system which enables a fast 3-dimensional measurement of a human face using a sli-ray projection method. One distinctive feature of our system is that a real-time video signal processor is employed in order to reduce the amount of image data to be processed and enable a fast measurement. Another feature of our system is that a skillful calibration software is developed. Due to this calibration software, opetators can be free from cumbersome settings of the measuring system.
