| 10. A method for detecting and recognizing a face in an image, the method comprising:
detecting one or more faces in the image using a plurality of pose-specific detectors, wherein the face poses are sourced
from an infrared image of the face;
fusing the outputs from the pose-specific detectors;
recognizing the face using a plurality of pose-specific recognizers that use outputs from the pose-specific detectors and
the fused output of the pose-specific detectors;
fusing the outputs of the pose-specific recognizers; and
recognizing the face from an image database of multiple faces using the fused output of the pose-specific recognizers.
