Title: Extenics in face recognition: from a complex 2D scene to the 3D scene
Abstract: 
This speech aims to explore applications of the five intelligence layers in face recognition access control manufacturing for tackling the great challenge for occluded face recognition in 3D visualization scene, which embedded the occluded faces problem into a 3D visualization scene to develop extenics in face recognition. By fusing the video containing faces in a complex 2D scene with the 3D model of the same scene, the faces images in 3D visualization scene are obtained and recognized. Theory of extenics in face recognition is essentially necessary for fighting against convid-19, when occluded face recognition technology can serve as access control in public places with a large number people to solve the contradiction between face recognition and wearing masks. Extension of applications in face recognition access control manufacturing also include establishing the experimental platform for validation of extenics in face recognition and developing human-machine interfaces. The involved algorithms and models are also explained.
