Patent ID: 8902305

Claim:
A system for managing face data, comprising: a global face capturing unit configured to capture a global face image; a global face data generation unit configured to obtain shape information and texture information of global face data by measuring a phase shift in the global face image and by estimating a three-dimensional (3D) position of a face, and generate the global face data using the shape information and the texture information; a local face capturing unit configured to capture a plurality of local face images while contacting a surface of the face or approaching the face up to a preset distance; a global face posture extraction unit configured to estimate a position and a direction of the face of a captured user upon capturing the local face images using the local face capturing unit to extract a global face posture; a local capturing device posture extraction unit configured to extract posture information of the local face capturing unit; and a local face data generation unit configured to generate texture information and shape information by performing image processing on each of the local face images, and generate local face data based on the texture information and the shape information.
