disparity maps) obtained <strong>for</strong> an individual. The generic face model is modified so that<br />

these recognition-oriented features are fitted to the individual’s facial geometry. The<br />

modeling process aligns <strong>and</strong> adapts the generic face model to the facial measurements<br />

in a global-to-local fashion. The overview of our face modeling method is given in<br />

Fig. 4.1. The input to the modeling algorithm is the generic face model <strong>and</strong> the<br />

facial measurements. The modeling method contains two major modules: (i) global<br />

alignment <strong>and</strong> (ii) local adaptation. The global alignment module changes the size of<br />

the generic face model, <strong>and</strong> aligns the scaled generic model according to the 3D head<br />

pose. The local adaptation module refines the facial features of the globally aligned<br />

generic face model iteratively <strong>and</strong> locally. We do not extract isosurfaces directly from<br />

facial measurements because facial measurements are often noisy (e.g., near the ears<br />
