    Abstract

    We demonstrate that a small number of 2D linear statistical models are sufficient to capture the shape and appearance of a face from a wide range of viewpoints. Such models can be used to estimate head orientation and track faces through large angles. Given multiple images of the same face we can learn a coupled model describing the relationship between the frontal appearance and the profile of a face. This relationship can be used to predict new views of a face seen from one view and to constrain search algorithms which seek to locate a face in multiple views simultaneously. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
