209 | How does Azure's
211 | Face API work?
213 | 214 |228 |
215 | Firstly, it detects a face in the given image and 216 | generates 217 | a unique identifier string for the detected face in the 218 | image. 219 | Then to check if two images contain the same person, 220 | we use the Find Similar API, that searchs for 221 | similar-looking faces 222 | given a target Face ID and Face ID array. 223 | The API returns a JSON object containing the matched 224 | Face ID from the 225 | given array along with the confidence score. 226 |
