The present application relates to face recognition technology, in particular to a face
database building and updating method and device based on mobile terminal and a storage medium, the method comprising: uploading dynamic video and face photos of the face through the mobile terminal; extracting three-dimensional geometric features of the face through the dynamic video, generating corresponding three-dimensional feature faces according to the three-dimensional geometric features and the reference photos, and storing the three-dimensional feature faces into the face
database; simulating the three-dimensional feature faces according to the
light intensity, angle, shielding state,
skin color and age information of the reference photos, comparing the similarity of the reference photos and the simulated three-dimensional feature faces; and replacing the three-dimensional feature faces stored in the face
database through the judgment of the first similarity threshold and the second similarity threshold. The present application reduces the difficulty of collecting the face database and improves the accuracy and comprehensiveness of face recognition.
