Abstract
A computer implemented method comprising acquiring a three-dimensional (3D) range image containing one or more 3D landmarks; rendering the 3D range image into a rendered visible image containing intensity patterns related to the one or more 3D landmarks; and localizing at least one of the one or more 3D landmarks in the rendered visible image to provide at least one localized 3D landmark. is provided. Such methods, and related systems, and devices, are useful in biometric identification applications.
