About
- Face API helps you to add facial recognition capabilities to your application. State-of-right algorithms detect your human faces in images, including face landmarks like the nose, gender, hair color etc.
- Face API also checks if people in the image are the same by using a confidence score, or comparing it against a database to see if it looks similar.
- Facial recognition can be a key feature of your app with the Face API.
Implementation – Creating a new Microsoft Bot Service in Azure.
- Sign in to the Azure Management portal.
- Open Azure portal and click on “+”.
- Click on AI + Cognitive Services and then select an option for “Face API “.
- Click on "Create" on the next screen.
- Fill all the details like App Name, Subscription, Resource Group, Location etc.
- Use the existing resource or create a new resource as per your requirement.
- Give appropriate name and select pricing tier according to your requirement and replication.
- Once you fill all the required details, then click on "Create".
- Once your Face API deploys successfully, open your Face API service.
Implementation – Access the Face API.
- Open Face API which you just created.
- Click on Quick Start option which is present on the left side of the panel.
- Click on “Grab your keys “and then copy and paste “Key-1” into the Notepad file from here.
- Now, the next step is to click on “Make an API Call” and click on Face API reference.
- Copy the “Southeast Asia“ from there. We have just created the API in that region only and copy and paste in the Fiddler.
- Put the “Content Type “ and “Ocp -Apim-Subscription-Key’s” value into the headers.
- Click on send and see the details.
