Lijun Yin's research might someday make it easier to pick out a terrorist in a crowd, put Tom Cruise's face on a stunt man's shoulders, hold a videoconference over a low-bandwidth connection or use a computer without touching a keyboard or mouse. With his graduate students in Binghamton University's Graphics and Image Computing Laboratory, Yin is working on facial modeling techniques that could lead to advances in all those areas. The two-year project is supported by a $100,000 grant from the National Science Foundation.
