Face ID Best Practices

This guide provides a clear and detailed roadmap for integrating a face identity verification system into your client application. Using intuitive icons, we’ll walk you through each step to ensure your implementation is effective and user-friendly.

System Overview

Capture user's face

User Action: The process begins when the user captures their face using the client application.Ensure your application provides clear instructions for capturing a high-quality image, considering factors like lighting and background.Common Image Quality Issues

Message	Description
Poor lighting	Ensure adequate lighting for clear face capture
Blurry image	Hold device steady and focus properly
Face too close/far	Maintain appropriate distance (arm’s length)
Multiple faces	Ensure only one face is visible in frame

Below are examples of possible headshots from the table above.

Send the Captured Face to the Server

Once the face is captured, the client sends the image to the ARGOS server for processing.

Perform Face ID Search

This is a critical part of the process where the face ID service attempts to match the face with an existing face in the database.Database Scan

The service indexes the face and scans the database for a match.

Case 1: No Matched Face

If no match is found, the system will create a new face ID entry.

Case 2: Matched Face

If a match is found, the system will return the existing face ID.

Scenario	Action
No match found	Create new face ID entry
Match found	Return existing face ID

Ensure Smooth Transition

Whether a new user is added or an existing user is recognized, ensure the transition to the next steps in your application is smooth and intuitive.
