AI & ML Technologies Behind Face Recognition
Face detection & tracking
A must-have component of any face recognition SDK & API, this technology allows locating a human face in the picture or video frame. Works both with still images and in real time, and performs even in low light and with a face partially covered.
Face verification & identification
Banuba’s SDK can handle both 1:1 face verification and 1:N face identification. It detects the positions of 68 facial landmarks (eyes, nose, lips, etc.) and compares a new image to the baseline. Then it determines the percentage of similarity between them.
Liveness Detection & Anti‑Spoofing
Banuba’s liveness detection SDK can track the following parameters:
— Head pose
— Eye openness
— Mouth movements
— Emotion expression
— Gaze tracking
— Pulse detection.
This provides reliable data for active and passive detection that the developers can implement themselves.
Gender detection
Banuba’s advanced gender detection adds a crucial, non-invasive layer to your identity verification process. By analyzing facial features in real-time, the face recognition SDK ensures that the person presenting the ID matches the live individual, enhancing security.
Technical Features
Face Recognition SDK supports HTML5, iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Unity, Flutter and React Native. It runs on devices starting from iOS 13+ / Android 8.0+ with a 1280x720 camera (recommended) at min 30 FPS.
