Abstract
Techniques for modifying operation of sensors using collected sensor data are provided herein. Sensor data describing a physical environment of a user authorized to access an access-controlled resource is collected according to an initial mode of operation. The initial mode of operation defines an initial performance for at least one sensor used to collect the sensor data. In response to detecting presence of a different user in the physical environment of the authorized user based on the sensor data, the at least one sensor is switched from the initial mode of operation to a modified mode of operation. The modified mode of operation is different than the initial mode of operation and defines a revised performance for the at least one sensor used to collect the sensor data.
