Abstract
In the article, the system for fitting the face-shape model to the image is described. Two model fitting approaches have been used: ACM and ASM. ACM has been applied in order to create a face-contours base of models. Starting with that base, an ASM model has been computed, which then has been used to obtain the face-shape descriptions from the provided images. ASM gives the explicit and structured shape description from the source image. Implementation of the ASM-based recognition system has been described and its performance evaluated. Some conclusions related to the choice of the local support are given, based on the experimental validation of the ASM method.
