the motivation <strong>for</strong> studies that attempt to recognize faces from eyes only [54]. The<br />

use of component weights can facilitate face recognition based on selected facial components.<br />

Furthermore, the shape of facial components (see Fig. 1.9(a)) has been<br />

used in physiognomy (or face reading, an ancient art of deciphering a person’s past<br />

<strong>and</strong> personality from his/her face). In light of this art, we design a semantic face<br />

graph <strong>for</strong> face recognition (see in Chapter 5), shown in Fig. 1.9(b), in which ten facial<br />

components are filled with different shades in a frontal view.<br />

Figure 1.9. Facial features/components: (a) five kinds of facial features (i.e., eyebrows,<br />

eyes, nose, ears, <strong>and</strong> mouth) in a face <strong>for</strong> reading faces in physiognomy (downloaded<br />

from [11]); (b) a frontal semantic face graph, whose nodes are facial components<br />

that are filled with different shades.<br />

For each facial component, the issue of representation also plays an important<br />

role in face recognition. It has been believed that local facial texture <strong>and</strong> shading are<br />

crucial <strong>for</strong> recognition [52]. However, some frames of a cartoon video, as shown in Fig.<br />
