Facial Recognition API

221 ∙

This face detection API detects and recognizes faces in any image or video frame. By leveraging a deep neural network trained on small, blurry, and shadowy faces of all ages, this service is able to automatically detect faces with a high level of accuracy.

Detect Faces

in images and video fames

Not only can you detect and outline the faces in an image, you can also detect faces in a video -- meaning you can scan security feeds and group photos with ease.

Robust

to scale, age, and quality

This face detection API is able to recognize faces partially covered in shadowy or low-quality images

Label Faces

for media tagging

Categorize your media library based on the presence of faces or label all of the faces within an image for further analysis.

Detect Blurry Faces

Analyzing clear, sharp images is easy. Blurry images are harder. Our API can process blurry images and still detect faces, so even if that image you took without looking is too blurry, it still works with the neural model.


Detect Multiple Faces

Even small faces in the background of an image will get picked up by this face detection API. Wether they are babies, children, adults, or elderly, our model will detect and label them automatically.


Detect Shadowy faces

Trained on partial faces, profiles, and faces with shadows cast over them - our face detection API will detect and recognize every face in an image or video frame.
