Techniques are disclosed relating to biometric authentication, e.g., facial recognition. In some embodiments, a device is configured to verify that image data from a camera unit exhibits a pseudo-random sequence of image capture modes and/or a probing pattern of illumination points (e.g., from lasers in a depth capture mode) before authenticating a user based on recognizing a face in the image data. In some embodiments, a secure circuit may control verification of the sequence and/or the probing pattern. In some embodiments, the secure circuit may verify frame numbers, signatures, and/or nonce values for captured image information. In some embodiments, a device may implement one or more lockout procedures in response to biometric authentication failures. The disclosed techniques may reduce or eliminate the effectiveness of spoofing and/or replay attacks, in some embodiments.

Biometric authentication techniques

Techniques for the modification of at least part of a target image (e.g., scene objects within the target image), e.g., to make the target image appear that it was captured at a different time (e.g., a different time of day, different time of year) are disclosed. This 'dynamic re-timing' of the target image may be achieved by finding one or more source images including the same (or similar) scene depicted in the target image (but, e.g., captured at different times), extracting stylistic elements from the source image(s), and then modifying at least part of the target image in a realistic fashion (e.g., not altering the geometry of objects in the target image), based on one or more extracted stylistic elements from the source image(s). Three-dimensional modeling of scene objects may allow a more realistic-looking transfer of the extracted stylistic elements onto scene objects in the target image to be achieved.

Dynamic image re-timing

Systems and methods are disclosed for computing various determinations at one or more mobile devices and/or central machines. In part, such determinations are computed based on analysis of one or more inputs originating at one or more sensors of one or more devices. The referenced methods can include operations such as: receiving one or more inputs, processing the one or more inputs to determine a quantity of occupants within a vehicle, and transforming a first operation state of a device present within the vehicle based on a determination that the quantity of occupants within the vehicle is not greater than one.

Device control based on number of vehicle occupants

Systems and methods are disclosed for computing various determinations at one or more mobile devices and/or central machines. In part, such determinations are computed based on analysis of one or more inputs originating at one or more sensors of one or more devices. Such determinations include determining an in-vehicle role, an in-vehicle location, a handheld state, and a vehicle class. Various transformations, modifications, and outputs can result from such determinations. Also disclosed are systems and methods for restricting operation of a mobile device, including restrictions that impede operation by a driver moreso than operation by a passenger. Also disclosed are systems and methods for orienting a coordinate system of a mobile device.
