The University of Milano Bicocca 3D face database is a collection of multimodal (3D + 2D colour images) facial acquisitions. The database is available to universities and research centers interested in face detection, face recognition, face synthesis, etc.

The UMB-DB has been acquired with a particular focus on facial occlusions, i.e.scarves, hats, hands, eyeglasses and other types of occlusion wich can occur in real-world scenarios. See the Publications section for a selection of our papers about face detection, face recognition and other face-related topics. In the examples section you can find a preview of some acquisitions.
