Techniques are disclosed for determining whether to include a bodyprint in a cluster of bodyprints associated with a recognized person. For example, a device performs facial recognition to identify the identity of a first person. The device also identifies and stores physical characteristic information of the first person, the stored information associated with the identity of the first person based on the recognized face. Subsequently, the device receives a second video feed showing an image of a second person whose face is also determined to be recognized by the device. The device then generates a quality score for physical characteristics in the image of the user. The device can then add the image with the physical characteristics to a cluster of images associated with the person if the quality score is above a threshold, or discard the image if not.

Identity recognition utilizing face-associated body characteristics

Techniques are disclosed for providing a notification indicating an identity of a first person based on face-associated body characteristics. For example, a device performs facial recognition to identify the identity of the first person shown in a first video feed. The device also identifies and stores physical characteristic information of the first person from the first video feed, the stored information associated with the identity of the first person based on the recognized face. Subsequently, the device receives a second video feed showing a second person whose face is determined to not be recognized by the device. The device compares the stored physical characteristic information of the first person with additional physical characteristic information of the second person shown in the second video feed. Based on the comparison, the device provides a notification indicating whether the identity of the second person corresponds to the identity of the first person.

Techniques are disclosed for providing a notification that a person is at a particular location. For example, a resident device may receive from a user device an image that shows a face of a first person, the image being captured by a first camera of the user device. The resident device may also receive, from another device having a second camera, a second image showing a portion of a face of a second person, the second camera having a viewable area showing a particular location. The resident device may determine a score indicating a level of similarity between a first set of characteristics associated with the face of the first person and a second set of characteristics associated with the face of a second person. The resident device may then provide to the user device a notification based on determining the score.
