5.4 Semantic <strong>Face</strong> Matching<br />

We have developed a method to automatically derive semantic component weights <strong>for</strong><br />

facial components based on coarsely aligned <strong>and</strong> finely de<strong>for</strong>med face graphs. These<br />

component weights are used to emphasize salient facial features <strong>for</strong> recognition (i.e.,<br />

<strong>for</strong> computing a matching cost <strong>for</strong> a face comparison using semantic face graphs. The<br />

aligned face graph can also be used <strong>for</strong> generating facial caricatures.<br />
