Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: generating face templates corresponding to respective images, wherein each face template describes one or more facial features of a face depicted in a corresponding one of the images and stores at least one value for at least one of the one or more facial features; matching the images to a user identity of a user by determining similarities of the one or more facial features in the face templates corresponding to the images to one or more facial features in one or more other images that depict the user; determining based on received user input that one or more of the matched images are mismatched images that do not depict the user of the user identity; flagging one or more face templates corresponding to the one or more mismatched images as negative face templates; determining based on received user input that one or more of the matched images are correctly matched images that depict the user of the user identity; flagging one or more face templates corresponding to the one or more correctly matched images as positive face templates; generating a face model associated with the user based on combining the values of the facial features of a plurality of the positive face templates, wherein the face model is configured to be compared to corresponding face templates of one or more new images to determine whether the one or more new images match the user identity; and associating the face model with at least one of the negative face templates, wherein the at least one negative face template is configured to indicate whether one or more facial features in the one or more new images are not matched with the user identity.
