Identical Twins Crack Face Recognition Puzzle

Two identical-twin computer whiz-kids have created a novel method for
facial recognition. The Russian-born twins were given the assignment as
part of their masters' degree in electrical engineering at Technion
Institute, a university in Haifa, Israel. Their approach is to map the
face as a three-dimensional surface. Most current commercial systems rely
on two-dimensional images. The twins solution could potentially provide
far more accurate reference than current technology. Alex and Michael
Bronstein created the prototype using building blocks for facial
recognition already developed by their professor, Ron Kimmel of Technion
Institute. They have already applied for U.S. patents for the technology.
