Face Liveness Overview

Face Liveness is a sophisticated API that verifies whether a facial image was captured from a live person, preventing fraud attempts using fake photos, videos, or other spoofing techniques. This technology ensures a more secure and trustworthy verification process.

​
Key Features

  • Live Detection: Verify that images are from real, live persons
  • Anti-Spoofing: Detect fake photos, videos, and 3D masks
  • Real-time Analysis: Quick processing for immediate results
  • High Accuracy: Advanced AI algorithms for reliable detection
  • Multiple Attack Detection: Identify various types of spoofing attempts
  • Privacy Focused: Process images without storing personal data

​
Types of Attacks Detected

  • Photo Attacks: Printed photos or digital images
  • Video Attacks: Pre-recorded videos or live streaming
  • 3D Mask Attacks: Realistic 3D printed masks
  • Deepfake Detection: AI-generated fake images
  • Screen Attacks: Images displayed on electronic screens

​
How It Works

  1. Image Submission: Upload facial image for liveness analysis
  2. Feature Analysis: Analyze facial features, textures, and patterns
  3. Liveness Detection: Check for signs of live person characteristics
  4. Spoof Detection: Identify potential attack methods
  5. Result Generation: Provide liveness score and confidence level

​
Liveness Scoring

The API provides liveness scores that indicate the probability of a live person:
  • High Score (80-100%): Very likely a live person
  • Medium Score (60-79%): Possibly a live person
  • Low Score (0-59%): Likely a spoofing attempt
