5.2 Coarse Alignment of Semantic <strong>Face</strong> Graph<br />

Our face recognition system contains four major modules: face detection, pose estimation,<br />

face alignment, <strong>and</strong> face matching. The face detection module finds locations<br />

of face <strong>and</strong> facial features in a color image using the algorithm in [175]. Figures 5.4(a)<br />

to 5.4(d) show input color images <strong>and</strong> the results of face detection. Currently, we as-<br />
