Face LookUp
IDfy’s Face LookUp API takes a person’s picture as an input and looks up a database of pictures to find out if the person already exists in the database. That is, the API does a 1:n face comparison.
It helps you prevent banned users and duplicate accounts from entering your system by running a search through your customers/banned users’ database.
The API accepts a selfie as input to identify if a specific face is present in a database of faces. It then returns the closest match from that database to flag any de-duplication or defaulter.
