Automated mass facial recognition enrollment

1. A method for enrolling users in an access control system:

sending a notification to a device of a user, instructing the user to capture an image with the device;

generating a first representation of a face of the user using a first image of the user;

generating a second representation of a face of the user using a second image of the user captured with the device;

determining a likelihood of a match between the first and second representations; and

if the likelihood of a match meets an enrollment threshold, using the second image as an enrollment photo for the access control system, wherein the enrollment photo is used subsequently by the access control system for facial recognition for accessing a secure asset, wherein the enrollment threshold is predefined to be lower than a threshold for facial verification based on two facial representations that is required to access the secure asset.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification comprises an email.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification comprises a push notification to the device of the user.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification comprises a text.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification comprises instructions accessible from a link provided in at least one of an email, push notification, or text.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first image of the user corresponds to an image of the user stored by an owner of the access control system.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first image of the user corresponds to an image of the user provided on an identification badge for the user.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the enrollment threshold is predefined to be up to 10% lower than a threshold for facial verification based on two facial representations that is required to access a secure asset of the access control system.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the enrollment threshold is predefined to be between 10% to 40% lower than a threshold for facial verification based on two facial representations that is required to access a secure asset of the access control system.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable code, that when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:

send a notification to a device of a user, instructing the user to capture an image with the device;

generate a first representation of a face of the user using a first image of the user;

generate a second representation of a face of the user using a second image of the user captured with the device;

determine a likelihood of a match between the first and second representations; and

if the likelihood of a match meets an enrollment threshold, using the second image as an enrollment photo for an access control system, wherein the enrollment photo is used subsequently by the access control system for facial recognition for accessing a secure asset, wherein the enrollment threshold is predefined to be lower than a threshold for facial verification based on two facial representations that is required to access the secure asset.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the notification comprises an email.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the notification comprises a push notification to the device of the user.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the notification comprises a text.

14. on-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the notification comprises instructions accessible from a link provided in at least one of an email, push notification, or text.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the first image of the user corresponds to an image of the user stored by an owner of the access control system.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the first image of the user corresponds to an image of the user provided on an identification badge for the user.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the enrollment threshold is predefined to be up to 10 % lower than a threshold for facial verification based on two facial representations that is required to access a secure asset of the access control system.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the enrollment threshold is predefined to be between 10% to 40% lower than a threshold for facial verification based on two facial representations that is required to access a secure asset of the access control system.

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable code, that when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to enroll a plurality of users in an access control system, wherein enrolling each of the plurality of users comprises:

sending a notification to a device of that user, instructing that user to capture an image with the device;

generating a first representation of a face of that user using a first image of that user;

generating a second representation of a face of that user using a second image of that user captured with the device;

determining a likelihood of a match between the first and second representations; and

if the likelihood of a match meets an enrollment threshold, using the second image as an enrollment photo for that user in the access control system, wherein the enrollment photo is used subsequently by the access control system for facial recognition for accessing a secure asset, wherein the enrollment threshold is predefined to be lower than a threshold for facial verification based on two facial representations that is required to access the secure asset.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein:

the notification comprises instructions accessible from a link provided in at least one of an email, push notification, or text; and

the first image of the user corresponds to an image of the user stored by an owner of the access control system.
