Face API
Add facial recognition capabilities to your app with the Face API. State-of-the-art algorithms detect human faces in images, opening a range of facial capabilities to your apps. Face detection can also identify attributes, including face landmarks (nose, eyes, etc.), gender, age, and other machine-predicted facial features.
Once faces have been identified, the API can check to see if two people in an image or images are the same by using a confidence score, or compare it against a database to see if a similar-looking or identical face already exists. It can also organize similar faces into groups using shared visual traits.
Make facial recognition a key feature of your app with the Face API.
Pre-requisites
Read the following article to create an Azure account and for some basic information about Azure to get started.
Implementation – Create a new Face API
Steps to be followed
- Open Azure portal and click on Add, choose category “AI + Cognitive Services”, and then select an option of “Face API”.
- Fill in the details and create a new resource-group and click on “Create”.
- Go the “All resources” section and see the newly created “Face API” named as “face -api-10-10”.
- Open the particular Face API there and see the different options available.
Implementation – Access the Face API
Steps to be followed
- In the opened section of the Face API, click on the “quick start option”.
- Click on the “Grab Keys” and copy and paste the “KEY-1” into the notepad file from here.
- Then, go to “Make an API call” and click on the Face API reference.
- Then copy the “South Central URL” from there as we have created the API in that region only and copy and paste into the Postman.
- Then, select any image file on the file-system.
- Put the Content-type and Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key’s value into the headers.
- Click on Send and see the response with the following details.
