Advantages of 3D methods for face recognition research in humans (2005)
Journal Article
Liu, C., & Ward, J. (2005). Advantages of 3D methods for face recognition research in humans. Lecture notes in computer science, 3723, 244 - 254

Research on face recognition in humans has mainly relied on 2D images. This approach has certain limitations. First, observers become relatively passive in face encoding, although in reality they may be more spontaneous in exploring different views o...
