FACIAL RECOGNITION WITH USING OF THE MICROSOFT FACE API SERVICE

Abstract

Results of creation and testing of software for recognition and comparison of human faces are presented. The program was created to run on Windows and implemented using the features of the face recognition service Microsoft Face API. Some peculiarities of work and practical use of this service for creation of user programs are analyzed. The work of the created program was tested on real examples of face recognition both on images belonging to one person and to different persons. The influence of the presence of emotions on the face and different shooting conditions of the submitted photo on the recognition result is investigated. Some aspects of the practical use of this service are also noted. In particular, the positive aspect is the ability to allow the use of Face API services for free for 30 days, which allows users to develop and test a recognition program and evaluate the quality of its functionality before acquiring commercial rights to the Microsoft API.
