H. Hase, Masaaki Yoneda, T. Kasamatsu, Jun Kato · 2002

Changes in facial expressions or differences in individual faces appear not only in distinctive features such as eyes, nose and mouth but also in the bone structure or the movement of facial muscles. We present a new concept that reflects the differences of the bone structure of a face and/or the movement of facial muscles and name this a face plane. The face plane can be described by a few parameters and reduce vague facial features. This paper describes the concept and the way of calculation of the face plane.
