Originally published in 1995, much of the previous research on face recognition had been phenomena driven. Recent empirical work together with the application of computational, mathematical and statistical techniques have provided new ways of conceptualizing the information available in faces. This title provides a state of the art review of the field at the time in which the authors use a wide variety of approaches.
