CFAir Match Face API

This Match Face API was developed for the Dating Services and IAM industry.  The Match Face API generates a transaction ID of its own. It is independent of a document authentication transaction, unlike Match Selfie. Match Face API provides the capability to match/compare a source selfie image with all face gallery images passed as per the API parameters.

Each Match Face submission consists of one (1) probe image and one (1) gallery image. A single Match Face session for one (1) probe image is limited to up to six (6) gallery image comparisons based on the limitation of IDE Dashboard display capabilities. Each probe image with gallery image pairing is a separate transaction for accounting and billing purposes. This speaks to the pricing model given one set = one transaction fee.

You can give gallery images a custom name that gets returned in the API response along with the verification score. Image integrity algorithms configured for the Selfie in DI are run on the submitted probe image and are returned in the response. Gallery images are dependent on the use case required for facial recognition, these images are taken from other sources, or they can be from a submitted document. This is typically used when we are validating a user, NOT against a document. 

Terminology

Probe Image - Portrait headshot

Gallery Image - Compilation of headshots, selfies, and document IDs. This could be for one transaction or it could be a list of Bad Actors (fraudsters).
