• Non-frontal training views: According to the estimated head pose, we can<br />
rotate the generic face model <strong>and</strong> generate the boundary curves of the semantic<br />
components <strong>for</strong> face alignment at the estimated pose.<br />
6.2.3 <strong>Face</strong> matching<br />
We have designed a semantic face matching algorithm based on the component<br />
weights derived from distinctiveness <strong>and</strong> visibility of individual facial components.<br />
Currently, the semantic graph descriptors, SGD i in Section 5.4.1, used <strong>for</strong> comparing<br />
the difference between facial components contain only the shape in<strong>for</strong>mation (i.e.,<br />
component contours). We can improve the per<strong>for</strong>mance of the algorithm by including<br />
the following properties:<br />
• Texture in<strong>for</strong>mation: Associate a semantic graph descriptor with a set of<br />
texture in<strong>for</strong>mation (e.g., wavelet coefficients, photometric sketches [55], <strong>and</strong><br />
normalized color values) <strong>for</strong> each facial component. The semantic face matching<br />
algorithm will compare faces based on both the shape <strong>and</strong> texture in<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />
• Scalability: Evaluate the matching algorithm on several public domain face<br />
databases.<br />
• Caricature effects on recognition: Explore other weighting functions on the<br />
distinctiveness of individual facial components based on the visualized facial<br />
caricature <strong>and</strong> the recognition per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />
• Facial statistics: Analyze face shape, race, sex, <strong>and</strong> age, <strong>and</strong> construct other<br />
