Face recognition is one of the most intensively studied topics in computer vision and pattern recognition. A constrained optical
flow algorithm, which combines the advantages of the unambiguous correspondence of feature point labeling and the flexible
representation of optical flow computation, has been proposed in our pervious work for face recognition from expressional
face images. In this paper, we propose an integrated face recognition system that is robust against facial expressions by
combining information from the computed intra-person optical flow and the synthesized face image in a probabilistic framework.
Our experimental results show that the proposed system improves the accuracy of face recognition from expressional face images.
