An overview on model-based approaches in face recognition

In recent years face recognition has received substantial attention from both research communities and the market, but still remained very challenging in real applications. A lot of face recognition algorithms, along with their modifications, have been developed during the past decades. A number of typical algorithms are presented, being categorized into appearance based and model-based schemes. In this paper we expand and describe the Model-Based approaches. The model-based approaches are introduced, including Elastic Bunch Graph matching, Active Appearance Model and 3D Morphable Model methods. A number of face databases available in the public domain and several published performance evaluation results are digested. Future research directions based on the current recognition results are pointed out.
