Faces are one of the most commonly recognized features among people. According to the invention a system for recognizing intensity images of faces is provided. Intensity images of a face are captured and normalized. The intensity images are transformed, filtered and then transformed again. The filter is based on a three-dimensional image of a face against which the intensity image is being compared. The result is a form of correlation that is substantially illumination independent.
