Software Can Recognize Face with One Photo
Umeå University, Sweden, doctorate student Hung-Son Le and Head of the Digital Media Lab there, Haibo Li, have created software algorithms that can enable a computer to recognize a human face after being shown JUST ONE PHOTO. Previously, computers needed many photos from different angles and with different lighting conditions to perform recognition. But Le and Li have come up with a way to create those variations based on a single photo. In the photo here, the picture in the center is the only one presented to the system, and the algorithm created the different angles. (props to Roland Piquepaille)

I believe XID Technology ( http://www.xidtech.com/ ) already has that kind of technology in production. I saw a demo when they finished second in the Global Security Challenge in 2007 for a system that identify people with only partial face pictures.
