PHANTOM IMAGE DATA BANK (3D)
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of constructing facial composites, comprising:
- providing an image database comprising a plurality of first image data elements, wherein each first image data element represents a part of a human face in a first perspective, and wherein for every first image data element the image database comprises a corresponding second image data element such that the second image data element represents at least partially the same part of the same human face in a second perspective;
electronically acquiring a user input for selection of a first image data element of a first part of a human face;
electronically acquiring a user input for selection of a first image data element of a second part of a human face;
graphically representing the selected first image data elements in a first display area of a graphical user interface;
electronically determining the corresponding second image data elements corresponding to the selected first image data elements; and
graphically representing the determined second image data elements in a second display area of the graphical user interface.

Abstract
The invention relates to the generation of phantom images on the basis of an image data bank (10), comprising a plurality of first image data elements, wherein each first image data element displays a facial section of a human face in a first view/perspective, and wherein the image data bank (10) comprises a corresponding second image data element for each first image data element such that the second image data element displays, at least in part, the same facial section of the same human face in a second view/perspective. The user thereby selects a first image data element (26a) of a first facial section of a human face and a first image data element (26b) of a second facial section of a human face. The selected first image data elements are graphically displayed in a first display region (22) of a graphic user interface. Furthermore, the second image data elements (28a, 28b) corresponding to the selected first image data elements are identified, and are graphically displayed in a second display region (24) of the graphic user interface.

12. A computer-implemented method of creating or expanding an image database for generating and outputting facial composites, the method comprising:
-
electronically storing a first photographic picture of a human face in a first perspective by at least one computer; electronically storing a second photographic picture of the human face in a second perspective by the at least one computer; generating a plurality of first image data elements from the stored first photographic picture and a plurality of second image data elements from the stored second photographic picture by the at least one computer, wherein the generated image data elements each represent a part of the human face such that for each first image data element a corresponding second image data element exists, which represents at least partially the same part of the human face; and electronically storing the plurality of first and second image data elements such that each first image data element is uniquely associated with the corresponding second image data element in the database. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
