Abstract
Templates used for a facial recognition process for authentication of a user to use a device may be updated by the device as features of the user change over time. Features of the user may gradually change over time due to changes such as facial hair changes, haircuts, gaining/losing weight, and/or aging. Updating the templates used for the facial recognition process may allow the user to continue being authenticated as features of the user change without the need for additional enrollments of the user.
