1. A method, comprising:
obtaining, by one or more computing devices, one or more images of a particular entity;
determining, by the one or more computing devices, a distance measure between two points of a physical feature of the particular entity based on the one or more images of the particular entity;
generating, by the one or more computing devices, a circumference measure of the physical feature based on the distance measure of the physical feature, wherein the circumference measure represents a distance around a circle having a diameter of the distance measure;
generating, by the one or more computing devices, a circumferential biometric template (CBT) of a particular entity based on the circumference measure of the physical feature;
storing, by the one or more servers computing devices and in a data structure, the CBT with a reference to the particular entity;
after storing the CBT with the reference to the particular entity:
receiving a request to access an item, wherein the request includes an identifier corresponding to the particular entity;
obtaining circumferential biometric data (CBD) for one or more physical characteristics of an entity depicted in an image captured by an image capture device;
obtaining authentication outcome data indicating whether the CBD matches the CBT stored with the reference to the particular entity; and
controlling access to the item based on the obtained authentication outcome data, including:
granting access to the item when the authentication outcome data indicates that the CBD matches the CBT of the particular entity; and
denying access to the item when the authentication outcome data indicates that the CBD fails to match the CBT of the particular entity.
