All facial motions for individual mimics and emotional expressions are possible using 43 different muscles controlled respectively by one facial nerve on both halves of the face. However, those nerves can be injured by external or internal factors, which in turn can cause a facial palsy. Medical experts evaluate this typically in a subjective manner. We want to measure it more objectively by exploiting machine learning methods. In the current project we aim to model the relationship between surface and underlying muscles using 3D sensors.

For LiDAR (Light detection and ranging) pulsed beams of light are used to measure distances from a scanner to the surface of objects in a scene to produce 3D point clouds. It is unstructured data composed of a collection of non-uniformly distributed points in a continuous space. In some cases, images are captured simultaneously during LiDAR campaigns to enrich these points with color information. We aim to assign one label from a set of pre-defined classes to each point of such a point cloud.

The digitalization of organizational processes is progressing fast. At the same time, the need for robust, unsupervised authentication methods is increasing. Typical organizational processes are automated border control, the opening of a bank account, financial transfer, and mobile payments using self-service eGates, kiosks, and smart devices. However, current authentication methods are susceptible to advanced spoofing attacks or identity thefts. In this project we aim to develop more robust representations and methods based on temporal 3D sensor data.
