Abstract
A facial identification system corrects lighting and pose in images prior to comparison with stored images. A three dimensional image is created from an original two dimensional image by combining the image with shape information. An iterative process is used to adjust the shape in order to match the original two dimensional image. A final image is rendered, with adjustments for lighting and pose, from the shape information.
