    Abstract: A facial recognition authentication on a device having a camera may operate with multiple enrollment profiles on the device. Multiple enrollment profiles may include separate profiles for different appearances of a user and/or separate profiles for different users authorized to use the device. The enrollment profiles may be generated using an enrollment process where the enrollment process is operated separately to generate each of the different enrollment profiles. During the facial recognition authentication process, a user may unlock the device by having a matching score for image(s) captured of the user that that exceeds an unlock threshold for at least one of the enrollment profiles. The user may have a matching score that exceeds the unlock threshold for multiple enrollment profiles. Each enrollment profile unlocks the device for the user may be updated using a template update process that operates independently for each enrollment profile.

    Abstract: Techniques described herein provide efficient object detection and tracking in video images, such as may be used for real-time camera control in power-limited mobile image capture devices. The techniques include performing object detection on a first subset of frames of an input video, detecting an object and object location in a first detection frame of the first subset of frames, and tracking the detected object on a second subset of frames of the input video after the first detection frame.

    Abstract: An orientation of an application user interface (e.g., text and/or content) on a display of a device may be determined by an orientation of the device relative to gravity. In situations where the orientation of the device relative to gravity does not provide a confident or accurate orientation for the application user interface, orientation of the application user interface may be determined from face orientation data. Face orientation data may be obtained from a face detection process operating on images of the user captured during a facial recognition process or during an attention detection process.

    Abstract: When a device is successfully unlock using a facial recognition authentication process, feature vectors generated from images obtained during the facial recognition authentication process may be stored as temporary templates on the device. After a period of time, one of the temporary templates may be selected to be used as a “virtual” template for the device. For example, a median temporary template in the temporary templates may be selected as the virtual template. The performance of the virtual template may then be assessed over time and compared to the performance of templates generated from an enrollment process to determine if and how the virtual template is implemented on the device.
