The Multimedia and Intelligent Software Technology Beijing Municipal Key Laboratory in Beijing University of Technology has constructed the BJUT-3D large-scale Chinese face database under the joint sponsor of National Natural Science Foundation of China, Beijing Natural Science Foundation Program, Beijing Science and Educational Committee Program. The goals to create the database include (1) providing the worldwide researchers of Face Modeling community a large-scale 3D face database for building 3D face model; (2) providing the worldwide researchers of Face Recognition community a large-scale 3D face database for training and evaluating their algorithms; (3) advancing the state-of-the-art Face Modeling and Face Recognition technologies aiming at practical applications especially for the oriental. 

The BJUT-3D database includes 500 Chinese people. There are 250 females and 250 males in the database. Everyone has the 3D face data. We acquire original high-resolution human 3D face data by the CyberWare 3D scanner in special environment. To build 3D face database, the original 3D data should be preprocessed, and cut the redundant parts. This face database is now made available (named by BJUT-3D-R1) for research purpose only on a case-by-case basis only. The Multimedia and Intelligent Software Technology Beijing Municipal Key Laboratory in Beijing University of Technology is serving as the technical agent for distribution of the database and reserves the copyright of all the data in the database.
