In this paper we propose to address one of the most challenging scenarios in face recognition. That is to identify a subject from a test image that is acquired under different pose and illumination condition from only one training sample also known as a gallery image of this subject in the database. For example the test image could be semifrontal and illuminated by multiple lighting sources while the corresponding training image is frontal under a single lighting source. Under the assumption of Lambertian reflectance the spherical harmonics representation has proved to be effective in modeling illumination variations for a fixed pose. In this paper we extend the spherical harmonics representation to encode pose information. More specifically we utilize the fact that 2D harmonic basis images at different poses are related by close-form linear transformations and give a more convenient transformation matrix to be directly used for basis images. An immediate application is that we can easily synthesize a different view of a subject under arbitrary lighting conditions by changing the coefficients of the spherical harmonics representation. A more important result is an efficient face recognition method based on the orthonormality of the linear transformations for solving the .
