What is Azure Face API?
The Face API available from Microsoft's Azure suite of services is an AI service that analyzes faces in images. It is used to embed facial recognition into apps for a secured user experience. No machine-learning expertise is required. Features include face detection that perceives facial features and attributes—such as a face mask, glasses, or face location—in an image, and identification of a person by a match to a private repository or via photo ID.
- Advanced facial recognition - Verify identity or control access with ready-for-scale face recognition.
- Ease of use - Add facial recognition to apps through a single API call.
- Privacy first - Maintain exclusive control over data. The service doesn't save images.
- Built-in security - Rely on enterprise-grade security and privacy applied to both data and any trained models.
The service supports face verification (check the likelihood that two faces belong to the same person and receive a confidence score), and face detection (detecting one or more human faces along with attributes such as pose, face coverings, and face location, including 27 landmarks for each face in the image).
