Webeginourinvestigationintofacerecognitionwithperhapsthesimplestapproach,knownasthedirectcorrelationmethod（alsoreferredtoastemplatematchingbyBrunelliandPoggio[29]）involvingthedirectcomparisonofpixelintensityvaluestakenfromfacialimages.Weusetheterm‘DirectCorrelation’toencompassalltechniquesinwhichfaceimagesarecompareddirectly,withoutanyformofimagespaceanalysis,weightingschemesorfeatureextraction,regardlessofthedistancemetricused.Therefore,wedonotinferthatPearson’scorrelationisappliedasthesimilarityfunction（althoughsuchanapproachwouldobviouslycomeunderourdefinitionofdirectcorrelation）.WetypicallyusetheEuclideandistanceasourmetricintheseinvestigations（inverselyrelatedtoPearson’scorrelationandcanbeconsideredasascaleandtranslationsensitiveformofimagecorrelation）,asthispersistswiththecontrastmadebetweenimagespaceandsubspaceapproachesinlatersections.
