Abstract
Techniques for performing continuous enrollment for face verification are provided. In one embodiment, a computing device can receive, from a user, an indication that the user wishes to authenticate himself/herself with the computing device via face verification. In response to the indication, the computing device can capture, using a camera, a series of images of the user's face and can authenticate the user by evaluating each of the series of images against a face template for the user, where the user is authenticated based on an N-th image in the series. Once the user has been authenticated, the computing device can select one or more images from the series prior to the N-th image and can add the selected images to the user's face template.
Claims33
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device from a user, a first indication that the user wishes to authenticate himself or herself with the computing device via face verification;
- in response to the first indication, capturing, by the computing device using a camera, a first series of images of the user's face;
- authenticating, by the computing device, the user by evaluating each of the first series of images against a face template for the user, wherein the user is authenticated based on an N-th image in the first series;
- and
- subsequently to the authenticating:
- selecting, by the computing device, one or more images from the first series prior to the N-th image;
- and
- adding, by the computing device, the one or more images to the face template for the user.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon program code executable by a processor of a computing device, the program code comprising:
- code that causes the processor to receive, from a user, a first indication that the user wishes to authenticate himself or herself with the computing device via face verification;
- in response to the first indication, code that causes the processor to capture, using a camera of the computing device, a first series of images of the user's face;
- code that causes the processor to authenticate the user by evaluating each of the first series of images against a face template for the user, wherein the user is authenticated based on an N-th image in the first series;
- and
- subsequently to the authenticating:
- code that causes the processor to select one or more images from the first series prior to the N-th image;
- and
- code that causes the processor to add the one or more images to the face template for the user.
A computing device comprising:
- a memory;
- a camera;
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon program code which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
- receive, from a user, a first indication that the user wishes to authenticate himself or herself with the computing device via face verification;
- in response to the first indication, capture, using the camera, a first series of images of the user's face;
- authenticate the user by evaluating each of the first series of images against a face template for the user, wherein the user is authenticated based on an N-th image in the first series;
- and
- subsequently to the authenticating:
- select one or more images from the first series prior to the N-th image;
- and
- add the one or more images to the face template for the user.
