1. A facial image-processing system comprising: means for illuminating a face with multiple different light sources; means for measuring range map data from said illuminating; means for measuring image data from said illuminating; means for deriving a 3-dimensional surface from the range map data; means for computing surface normals to the 3-dimensional surface; and means for processing the surface normals and the image data to derive an albedo map; and means for applying a generic face template to the range map data to reject noise that is associated with the range map data.
