which are shown in the top row in Fig. 4.12. All the 10 test images of the subject<br />
shown in the bottom row in Fig. 4.12 were correctly matched to our face model. This<br />
preliminary matching experiment shows that the proposed 3D face model is quite<br />
useful <strong>for</strong> recognizing faces at non-frontal views based on the facial appearance.<br />

4.5 Summary<br />
<strong>Face</strong> representation plays a crucial role in face recognition systems. For face recognition,<br />
we represent a human face as a 3D face model that is learned by adapting<br />
a generic 3D face model to input facial measurements in a global-to-local fashion.<br />
Based on the facial measurements, our model construction method first aligns the<br />
generic model globally, <strong>and</strong> then aligns <strong>and</strong> refines each facial feature locally using<br />
displacement (of model vertices) propagation <strong>and</strong> active contours associated with facial<br />
features. The final texture mapped model is visually similar to the original face.<br />
Initial matching experiments based on the 3D face model show encouraging results<br />
<strong>for</strong> appearance-based recognition.<br />
