19. The method of claim 18, wherein only the closest pixel image I* is weighted causing the closest pixel image I* to become the closest pixel template T*.
19. The method of claim 18, wherein only the closest pixel image I* is weighted causing the closest pixel image I* to become the closest pixel template T*. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the weighting added to the closest template T* each iteration is determined by the first derivative of the recognition margin M* relative to the template T*: EQU W*=u*(dM/dT*)=u*(dC*/dT*-dC**/dT*) where W* is the weighting added each iteration, and u* is a weighting factor mu* for dM/dT*.
