WITH FINDFACE SDK

FUNCTIONALITY

The FindFace SDK is a C library that provides access to the cutting-edge facial recognition technology based on neural networks and computer vision. Get all the necessary software development tools in a single package at a reasonable price to start on your project right away. The SDK allows you to quickly and accurately solve the 5 key tasks of face recognition:

Face detection

Finds face fragments in an image and returns a bounding box and control points (eyes, nose, corners of the mouth) for each fragment.

See examples

Biometric sample extraction

500 ms is the time needed to extract a face biometric sample and save it in a temporary binary format. The sample can be later saved to a database and used for face verification.

See examples

Verification

It takes ~75 ns to compare 2 biometric samples and estimate the probability of their belonging to the same person.

See examples

Liveness check

Distinguish a live face in front of a camera from a photo on paper or mobile device screen.

Face attributes extraction

Recognize age, gender, emotions, glasses, beard, and other attributes.

ADVANTAGES

IARPA FRPC winner

DETECTOR OPERATION EXAMPLES

Detecting a face means locating its bounds in a digital image. Even if a face is semi-covered, blurred or partially turned away from the camera, FindFace detector will spot it. Our intelligent software outperforms the competition by showing outstanding results with low-resolution sources and in limited visibility conditions.

Detection examples from NtechLab:

FACE DETECTION
AT A DISTANCE

Distant face detection with FindFace SDK

SEMI-COVERED FACE
DETECTION

Detecting half-covered faces with FindFace SDK

IDENTIFICATION AT AN ANGLE

Detecting faces turned away from the camera using the FindFace SDK

FACE DETECTION
UNDER COMPLEX CONDITIONS (POOR LIGHTING, BLUR)

Detecting faces in difficult conditions of poor lighting and blur

KEY FEATURES

Highest accuracy even with the factors that change appearance:

POOR LIGHTING

COVERED HEAD (hat, scarf, shawl)

GLASSES, BEARD, MUSTACHE

SEMI-COVERED FACE

AGE (photo taken 5 years ago)

VARIABILITY OF FACE EXPRESSIONS (smiling/gloomy)

DIVERSE FACE ANGLES

DIFFERENT CONDITIONS (sober/drunk)

DIFFERENT SIZE IN PIXELS

Biometric sample extraction and verification

Biometric sample extraction is a process of obtaining the distinctive features of a particular face from an image using neural networks. The result of this process is a unique array of numbers that describes a face, known as biometric sample, feature vector or face descriptor. It can be further compared to another array of numbers to determine the degree of similarity between the two faces. Look at the real verification cases and acknowledge the algorithm error-free operation in non-ideal conditions with various appearance changes.
