Face Recognition: 3D Face Recognition from Infancy to Product

When I went to grad school, I didn't choose 3D face recognition because I was interested in biometrics. I wanted to do computer vision for cars, and the professor I wanted to work with had left the university. So I went to the Computer Vision Research Lab (CVRL), and I asked what research they had available. Most of their work at the time was biometrics, and 3D face sounded interesting. It could pay the bills and give me experience that would translate to autonomous vehicles.
