1. A facial image-processing method comprising: illuminating a face with illumination, wherein the illumination comprises: a first light source that is polarized and selected so that specularly-suppressed reflective properties of the face can be ascertained; and a second light source that projects a structured pattern onto the face, while simultaneously illuminating the face with the first light source; and contemporaneously capturing structure data describing the face's structure and reflectance data describing reflectance properties of the face from the illumination, whereby the captured structure data and reflectance data is communicated to a computer to be processed.
