The purpose of this section is to (non-exhaustively) survey the facial modeling landscape. Part one defines facial modeling and lists several applications. The second part examines the object to be modeled-the face-and its attributes. Part three reviews techniques for facial modeling and deformation, while parts four and five discuss the role of data and control. The final part considers the validation of modeling results.
