• [Face ID: How It Works](https://app.theneo.io/argosidentity/face-id/face-id-1/face-id-how-it-works.md): Integrate advanced facial recognition for user authentication and duplicate detection with FACE ID by following these simple steps. 1 Determine your target users Identify User groups Decide which user groups will benefit from facial recognition-based authentication and duplicate detection. Use the 'Collections' feature to organize these groups according to your objectives. ARGOS Provides Provides the 'Collection' feature to manage user groups efficiently. The first group is automatically provided. Use more as needed 2 Add a Face Id Collect Facial Images Gather facial images from your users. Send these images to ARGOS, including the user distinction parameter with each submission. ARGOS Processes Converts submitted images into indexed vector values without storing the images. Returns the vector values for future reference Important Privacy Note FACE ID does not store facial images , ensuring user privacy. Inform your users about this privacy feature. 3 Search Face Authenticate Users Collect new facial images from users for authentication. Send these images to ARGOS, ensuring no images are stored during this process. Include the user distinction parameter with each request. ARGOS Processes Converts submitted facial images into vector values. Compares these vector values against the FACE IDs stored in the 'Collection'. Identifies and returns matched FACE IDs.
• [Settings](https://app.theneo.io/argosidentity/face-id/face-id-1/settings.md): We'll walk you through the available setting options to ensure your security system is tailored to your specific needs. FACE ID offers advanced features that enhance security by verifying the authenticity of facial images, preventing fraud, and ensuring accurate identification. Here's how you can configure these settings: You can create individual collections in the FACE ID section. All settings must be set for individual collections. Liveness 1 Liveness Option Initial Setting : disabled Enabling Liveness Detection: By enabling this feature, you activate a crucial layer of security designed to verify the presence of a real person, thereby significantly reducing the risk of spoofing and identity theft. When Enabled, the Default Score is 50. Customization Tip: Activating liveness detection is a proactive step towards bolstering your security. The default score of 50 represents a balanced threshold, but feel free to adjust it according to the security sensitivity of your environment. Higher settings mean stricter checks, ideal for critical security zones, while the default offers a solid foundation for everyday security needs. 2 Search Face by Image Initial Setting : 95 Sets the bar for how similar a face must be to the indexed data to be considered a match, playing a key role in security and identification accuracy. Customization Tip: Choose your threshold based on the level of security you need. A higher threshold minimizes false positives but might increase verification time, suitable for sensitive areas. A lower threshold speeds up identification at the cost of strictness, which could be practical for more relaxed settings. Recommened Configuration Security vs. Convenience Find the perfect balance. Customize liveness detection and threshold settings to meet your security requirements without sacrificing user experience. Environment Analysis Assess your environment's specific security needs. High-security zones may require stricter settings, while general areas can prioritize ease of access. Periodic Review Stay adaptive. Regularly reassess your settings to ensure they continue to meet your evolving security needs.
• [Best Practice](https://app.theneo.io/argosidentity/face-id/face-id-1/best-practice.md): This guide provides a clear and detailed roadmap for integrating a face identity verification system into your client application. Using intuitive icons, we'll walk you through each step to ensure your implementation is effective and user-friendly. System Overview 1 Capture user's face User Action: The process begins when the user captures their face using the client application. Ensure your application provides clear instructions for capturing a high-quality image, considering factors like lighting and background. Important Notes on Using the Liveness Option FACE ID offers a Liveness feature for anti-spoofing. To use Liveness, users must take and send a proper image of their face, which includes an image quality check. Ensure that the image: Is at least 720 pixels in height. Has a maximum compression of JPEG70. Common Image Quality Issues Message Description Face Not Found no face image Face Cropped the face image is too close to the edge or cropped Face Too Small the face image is too small Too Many Faces there are too many faces because other faces are included Face Too Close the face image is too close to the edge or cropped Face Close to Border the face image is too close to the edge or cropped Face Occuled the face is covered by another object Face Angle the face is rotated too much from the front. Below are the examples of possible headshots form the table above. Tips to Avoid Liveness Errors Guide users to look straight ahead. Ensure the face is properly centered and well-positioned. 2 Send the Captured Face to the Server Once the face is captured, the client sends the image to the ARGOS 3 Perform Face ID Search This is a critical part of the process where the face id service attempts to match the face with an existing face in the database. Database Scan The service indexes the face and scans the database for a match. Case 1: No Matched Face Case 2: Matched Face Service Response: "No Face matched." Client Action: Send a request to add the new face. Service Action: Index the new face (only the indexed data is stored, not the image). Response to Client: "Indexed FACE ID." Client Notifies User: "Welcome to the service." Service Response: "Matched FACE ID." Client Notifies User: Inform the user that they are a registered user. 4 Ensure Smooth Transition Whether a new user is added or an existing user is recognized, ensure the transition to the next steps in your application is smooth and intuitive.
