    Title: Indexing Face Templates Using Linear Models.
    Abstract: We present a theory for constructing linear subspace 
approximations to face-recognition algorithms and empirically 
demonstrate that a surprisingly diverse set of face-recognition 
approaches can be approximated well by using a linear model. A linear 
model, built using a training set of face images, is specified in terms 
of a linear subspace spanned by possible non-orthogonal vectors.
