AI & ML Technologies Behind Face Liveness Detection
Face detection & tracking
The core of Banuba Face Liveness SDK is real-time face detection and face tracking software. The SDK reliably locates faces in video streams and monitors their position, even under challenging conditions such as partial occlusion, varying lighting, or camera movement. These signals form the foundation for accurate liveness evaluation.
Facial motion & behavior analysis
The SDK tracks key facial parameters used for liveness detection, including head pose, eye openness, mouth movements, gaze direction, and facial expressions. These signals allow developers to build active and passive liveness checks that confirm natural human behavior and avoid getting tricked by static or replayed media.
Liveness Detection & Anti‑Spoofing
Banuba Face Liveness SDK provides developers with reliable low-level signals for implementing anti-spoofing logic tailored to their product requirements. Thanks to easy integration and secure design, it offers plenty of freedom in creating user-friendly and safe verification scenarios.
Physiological signal estimation
Banuba Face Liveness SDK can estimate subtle physiological signals, such as pulse from facial regions, providing additional data points for distinguishing live users from spoofing attempts.

Face liveness detection verifies that a real person is physically present in front of the camera, while face recognition focuses on identifying or matching a person. Banuba Face Liveness SDK is often used alongside face recognition but can also be implemented independently.
-
Banuba’s face liveness SDK has versions for native Android & iOS, as well as React Native, Flutter, Web, Mac, Windows, and Unity Engine. But it is flexible enough to be adapted to other platforms as well.
See the detailed information in the SDK documentation. -
No. All liveness detection processing is performed on the user’s device. The SDK does not store or send biometric data to Banuba servers.
-
Yes. The SDK provides real-time facial signals that developers can use to build active flows (user actions) or passive checks depending on their UX and security requirements.
