  text: We have measured 3D face geometry, skin reflectance, and subsurface scattering
    using custom-built devices for 149 subjects of varying age, gender, and race.
    We developed a novel skin reflectance model whose parameters can be estimated
    from measurements. The model decomposes the large amount of measured skin data
    into a spatially-varying analytic BRDF, a diffuse albedo map, and diffuse subsurface
    scattering. Our model is intuitive, physically plausible, and - since we do not
    use the original measured data - easy to edit as well. High-quality renderings
    come close to reproducing real photographs. The analysis of the model parameters
    for our sample population reveals variations according to subject age, gender,
    skin type, and external factors (e.g., sweat, cold, or makeup). Using our statistics,
    a user can edit the overall appearance of a face (e.g., changing skin type and
    age) or change small-scale features using texture synthesis (e.g., adding moles
    and freckles). We are making the collected statistics publicly available to the
    research community for applications in face synthesis and analysis.
