Apple patent: recognition of objects, faces and expressions by 3D camera

We often talk about the3D
like thenext revolutionat Apple. We had presented
Last August a
breveton gesture recognition.
Apple seeks to go even further as with this patent on a system of
3D camera so precise that it will build finer 3D models and
Recognize expressions on faces:

For Apple, current 3D camera systems havenot a rendering of
fairly precise depth.
The system described in a patent which has been recently granted to it will work
and fashionPhoto or videoand uses as a microphone set
lenses, equipmentdepth detection(LIDAR,
Radar or laser for example) and lumiance and chrominance sensors for
More precision in the color rendering.

Extremely preciseIt allows gesture recognition,
faces and evenfacial expressions(Grimace, a
wink, smile, frown the eyebrows, etc.) by finely analyzing the
movements of the mouth, eyes, nose, forehead, cheeks, ...
Apple also considers its use forCreation of models
3Dof an object in rotation or by moving into space (as
inside a house).
