Abstract: Systems and arrangements for performing biometric facial recognition in order to provide access to a device and/or process one or more events are provided. In some examples, one or more images of a user may be received by an entity and pre-processed to obtain a mean pixel value and variance of each image. These values may be stored in association with the image and/or identifying information associated with the user. Upon receiving a request to access a device, the device may capture an image of the user requesting access. The captured image may be processed similarly to the pre-stored images to determine a mean pixel value and variance. The system may compare the determined mean pixel value and variance for the pre-stored images to the captured image to obtain a similarity score. If the similarity score is at or above a predetermined threshold value, the images may be considered a match.
