In this study we compare a 3D death mask of Vincenzo Bellini with several portraits of him, in order to find the most similar ones.


Image Marker Pro
Image Marker Pro is an ad hoc labelling tool for manually inserting landmarks and key-points on 2D images. Although this software was fully developed to facilitate our study, it can even be applied in totally different fields such as medicine, engineering, industrial applications and so on. It provides a very simple and intuitive graphical interface to open an image and identify interesting points.
