One method comprises maintaining (i) a first database of facial images of individuals, and (ii) a second database of facial images comprising a subset of the individuals from the first database based on a probability of individuals appearing in sequences of image frames at a given time; applying a face detection algorithm to sequences of image frames to identify one or more faces in the sequences of images; and applying a facial recognition to at least one sequence of image frames using at least the second database to identify one or more individuals in the at least one sequence of image frames. The second database is comprised of facial images of: (i) individuals from multiple angles; (ii) individuals that appeared in prior image frames; and/or (iii) individuals that appeared in an image frame generated by a plurality of cameras.
