Technologies for efficient identity recognition based on skin features

One or more computer-readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions that, when executed by a compute device, cause the compute device to:

• obtain, with an the image capture device of the compute device, an image that depicts the skin of a person;
• identify pixels in the obtained image that are associated with the skin of the person;
• determine one or more features of the skin based on the identified pixels;
• generate a feature vector that includes the determined features of the skin;
• and
• analyze the feature vector with reference data to determine an identity of the person.

A method to identify a person based on skin features, comprising:

• obtaining, with an image capture device of a compute device, an image that depicts the skin of the person;
• identifying, by the compute device, pixels in the obtained image that are associated with the skin of the person;
• determining, by the compute device, one or more features of the skin based on the identified pixels;
• generating, by the compute device, a feature vector that includes the determined features of the skin;
• and
• analyzing, by the compute device, the feature vector with reference data to determine an identity of the person.
