Abstract
A method recognizes a face in an image. A morphable model having shape and pose parameters is fitted to a face in an image to construct a three-dimensional model of the face. Texture is extracted from the face in the image using the three-dimensional model. The shape and texture are projected into a bilinear illumination model to generate illumination bases for the face in the image. The illumination bases for the face in the image are compared to illumination bases of each of a plurality of bilinear illumination models of known faces to identify the face in the image.
