Face Entities

This page provides an overview of the face-related functions of AnySee.

JCV Cloud AnySee together with face entity models offers AI algorithms that detect, recognize and analyze faces in images.


Face entity management

The face entity management APIs offer a set of CRUD functions over face entities. All these APIs are designed for single operations and do not yet support batch operations. Since face entities are the basis of the search API, remember to register before calling the search API.


Search (1vN)

The face search API detects the largest face in an uploaded image, searches among a designated range of face entities, and returns the results of the highest similarity scores. Also called "1vN" or "identification" API, this API is the most commonly used facial recognition API, which can be integrated into payment, membership, access management, etc.


Detect

The face detection API detects all faces in an uploaded image and returns detailed information about the faces detected. The API can also perform quality checks and extract several face-related attributes, such as gender, age, emotions, etc.


Compare (1v1)

The face compare API detects the largest face in two uploaded images separately and verifies whether these two faces are from the same person. The compare existing API detects the largest face in one uploaded image, compares it to an existing face entity, and verifies whether these two faces are from the same person. Also called "1v1" or "identification" API, this API can be used in identity verification that matches a snapshot with a previously registered image, like a photo on the driver's license.
