Nuovo software 3D

 JACKSON, N.H., Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Animetrics, Inc., a leading
developer of 3D imaging and facial recognition software, announced the
commercial release of Forensica(TM), a facial creation tool for law
enforcement designed to "solve" faces during the investigative process.
Forensica utilizes multiple photographs or a single photograph from 2D
snapshot cameras or video frames to create a very realistic 3-Dimensional view
of a person's head.  "The wide deployment of video surveillance cameras,
internet as a source of photographs, and police mug shot databases has driven
the need for this type of tool," says Lisa Ludwig, Animetrics Vice President
of Marketing and Business Development.  "Many of the photographs we're talking
about are not studio quality; they are challenging not only to the human eye,
but also to computer based face recognition systems.  Forensica addresses both
situations creating a life-like 3D head enabling it to be ID-Ready for human
or computer based face recognition," added Ludwig.
    To enable quick dissemination of information amongst officers and
investigators, Forensica can automatically generate a video of a 3D rotating
face in addition to a full gallery of an individual at varied degrees of
poses.  "The ability to provide real-world applications takes Animetrics to a
new level," says Paul Schuepp, Animetrics President and CEO.  "We initially
introduced ground breaking 3D technology in the form of SDKs.  Now we are
building applications based on those technologies.  Forensica is just the
beginning.  Law enforcement officials and organizations in support of missing
children are very excited about Forensica's technology and optimistic about
the use of 3D visualization in helping a necessary cause."  For more
