Claim:
One or more non-transitory processor-readable media having stored thereon a processor-readable database of faceprint image data corresponding to detected face regions within images acquired with an image acquisition device and digitally-stored, wherein the faceprint image data are stored within the media for access by a processor, the database comprising: an image data component including acquired digital image data including content data corresponding to acquired digital images therein; and unique identifiers corresponding to the acquired digital images or face regions therein, or both; an identity data component including an identification listing of known identities to which identified face regions detected within the acquired digital image data have been determined to correspond; and a face recognition data component, comprising for an individual known identity: one or more identity tables corresponding to one or more identities to which the individual known identity is linked, wherein each identity table comprises one or more face class entries, wherein each face class entry is linked to and defined by a group of one or more faceprints; wherein each faceprint corresponds to values of parameters produced by applying at least one transformation to an image that corresponds to the faceprint.
