6.2.2 <strong>Face</strong> <strong>Modeling</strong><br />

We have developed two face modeling methods <strong>for</strong> range (with registered color) data<br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong> color data in a frontal view. Once we construct a pose estimator, we can<br />

modify the proposed methods of face alignment <strong>for</strong> non-frontal views. This extension<br />

of modeling includes the following tasks:<br />

• Complete head <strong>and</strong> ear mesh models:<br />

We need model polygons <strong>for</strong><br />

hair/head portion <strong>and</strong> ears in order to generate hair <strong>and</strong> ear outlines in nonfrontal<br />

views.<br />

• Pose <strong>and</strong> illumination estimation: We can design a head pose estimator<br />

<strong>and</strong> an illumination estimator <strong>for</strong> faces in frontal <strong>and</strong> non-frontal views based<br />

on the locations of face <strong>and</strong> facial components, <strong>and</strong> shadows/shadings on the<br />

face.<br />
