A method of creating a 3-dimensional facial reconstruction of a user of a transit system includes detecting a user within a range of an image capture device positioned at a transit access point. A plurality of images of a first portion of the user's face are captured using the image capture device while the user passes through the range of the image capture device. A plurality of positions of the user may be detected as the user passes through the range of the image capture device. The plurality of images are combined with the plurality of positions and a relative angle and position of the user's face are calculated based on the combination of the plurality of images and the plurality of positions. A 3-dimensional model of the first portion of the user's face is generated based on the calculated relative angle and position and the 3-dimensional model is stored.
