Claim 15:
16. A method, comprising:
establishing a plurality of two-dimensional learning images of a learning subject, each of said learning images exhibiting a learning subject state, said learning subject state varying among said learning images;
communicating said learning images to a processor;
determining in said processor a three-dimensional learning model of said learning subject from said learning images, said learning model exhibiting said learning subject states;
establishing a two-dimensional gallery image of each of a plurality of gallery subjects, each of said gallery images exhibiting a gallery subject state, said gallery subject states being at least substantially consistent among said gallery images;
communicating said gallery images to said processor;
determining in said processor a three-dimensional gallery model of each of said gallery subjects from said gallery images, said gallery models exhibiting respective gallery subject states;
establishing a two-dimensional query image of a query subject, said query image exhibiting a query subject state, said query subject state being at least substantially inconsistent with said substantially consistent gallery subject states;
communicating said query image to said processor;
determining in said processor a three-dimensional query model of said query subject from said query image, said query model exhibiting said query subject state;
determining in said processor a transform for at least one of said gallery models in combination with said learning model such that a transformed gallery subject state of a transformed gallery model approaches correspondence with said query subject state of said query model;
applying said transform to at least one of said gallery models in said processor to yield at least one said transformed gallery model;
for each of said at least one transformed gallery models, determining in said processor a two-dimensional transformed gallery image exhibiting said transformed gallery subject state;
comparing said at least one transformed gallery image against said query image in said processor so as to determine whether said query subject is said gallery subject in said at least one transformed gallery image.
