We are interested in the problem of recognising faces from image sequences. Compared to the more typical scenarios of face recognition in which a single or a few isolated face images of frontal or near-frontal view are the subjects of interest, it is notoriously more difficult to recognise faces of moving people in natural scenes. This requires not only correct recognition of continuously changing face images of the same person, but also consistent detection and tracking of faces in a given dynamic scene therefore enabling any recognition to take place. In such a scenario, face recognition needs to cope with changes in face images caused by variations in illumination, scale, translation and rotation in the image-plane. In addition, it has to be able to associate face images of the same person from significantly different poses caused by head rotations in depth.
