We introduce an app for automatic detection and acquisition of 2D and 3D facial landmarks, subsequent edition, data-export in several formats, and a plugin structure for adding diverse biometric algorithms such as age and sex estimation, eye color detection. This app allows solving practical data collection problems related to the handling of massive photographic databases. Also it is aimed to improve the surveillance of external phenotypic information intended for Quantitative Genetic Analysis. The software developed is based on open source tools and it is already available online.
