The data consists of {3-D} vertices, polygons and a texture map. The method uses a set of nine manually placed landmarks to automatically form a dense correspondence of thousands of points. This makes sure the model is able to capture the subtle details of a face. The model can be used for face segmentation and fully automated face registration." }
