Liveness Detection

​Overview

Liveness detection is the process of detecting the presence of a live user, rather than a representation such as a picture or fake video. The user needs to do 3 actions (for more details, please see the following actions table) to pass the liveness test(one round). If the user doesn’t pass the liveness test 3 rounds, the API will respond with the status “uncompleted” which means the billing will also count, else the API will respond with status "processing" or "completed".

Image Requirements

Type : JPG (JPEG), PNG Format : Base64 Size : Must be over 112*112 pixels

How to use liveness detection API

1. Call Get Choices API to get request ID and actions. 2. Call Liveness Detection API with image and request ID, then the liveness detection API will check if the person in the image acts the correct action. You can call Liveness Detection API repeatly until action correct or your time's up. Time limit is up to user but we suggest as 10 second for 1 action. 3. In case that you don't pass the liveness detection until time's up, you can call Liveness Detection API with restart_id parameter True to get new choices. and do the second step again. 4. In case that you pass, you will get 3 images that you just pass the test. You can use these 3 images for other service such as Face Compare.
