If the image is empty, you can replace it with a default image from your database, for example, a hand or any other element that allows you to certify that the user has given the necessary information. We can also detect other objects and backgrounds instead.
The online world is full of fraudsters and scammers. Hackers know how to trick your customers into giving you access to their bank accounts and more. Liveness detection technology comes in handy at this point.
How It Works?
In general, there are two types of liveness detection methods: methods based on image analysis and methods based on biometrics. But, detecting if someone is alive by just looking at them through an image is not as easy as it sounds. You need a dedicated tool for that like an API for liveness detection.
Simply put, an API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of programming protocols that allow software to communicate with other software. When you use an API, your application can leverage the capabilities of existing software or another online service without the need to build it from scratch. This allows developers to quickly create applications or use existing ones with little effort or development time.
There are some APIs out there offering liveness detection capabilities but not all of them are reliable or even affordable so we’ve rounded up four top options for your consideration: Face Liveness Detection API, Face Comparison API, Face Existence Validator API and Face Recognition API .
Face Recogn
Check if the selfie your users take is indeed live, optimally clicked to save in your records, if there are multiple faces detected in the image, and what percentage of the image the face actually covers.
To make use of it, you must first:
1- Go to Face Liveness Check API and simply click on the button “Subscribe for free” to start using the API.
2- After signing up in Zyla API Hub, you’ll be given your personal API key. Using this one-of-a-kind combination of numbers and letters, you’ll be able to use, connect, and manage APIs!
3- Employ the different API endpoints depending on what you are looking for.
4- Once you meet your needed endpoint, make the API call by pressing the button “run” and see the results on your screen.
