Abstract
In general, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to techniques for adjusting the threshold similarity score to match the facial features of an authorized user in a facial recognition system. Instead of a uniform threshold similarity score, representations of authorized faces enrolled in the computing device may be assigned a custom threshold similarity score based at least in part on the distinctiveness of the facial features in the representations of the authorized faces. A computing device can determine a distinctiveness of facial features of an enrolling user, and can determine a threshold similarity score associated with the facial features of the enrolling user based at least in part on the distinctiveness of the facial features of the enrolling user.
