3D Imaging of Biometric Features of Human Skin

This Virtual Lunch Talk gives a technical introduction and overview on optical 3D imaging technology. Furthermore, it is shown how this contactless technology can be used to scan biometric features of human skin tissue surfaces. The possibilities of this technology are demonstrated with special emphasis on the advancements compared to contact-based solutions. Finally, an outlook is given on how this technology can be applied in different situations where traditional technology failed so far.
