IDrive Face enables developers to build facial recognition apps

IDrive Online Backup has officially released IDrive Face, enabling businesses and developers to build face recognition apps and integrate face recognition into their software products.

IDrive Face offers ready-to-use APIs for quick deployment of facial recognition features in applications along with unlimited storage of metadata and unlimited image analyzing.

Using complex algorithms that detect and analyze faces with high accuracy, IDrive Face uses the latest biometric technology for the fastest possible facial recognition within images, giving users the ability to include one or all of the following face recognition features in their apps:

• Face detection – Detect, analyze, and identify one or multiple faces in images.
• Face comparison – Compare a face in an image with multiple matches and evaluate similarity.
• Face verification – Perform a one-to-one face match comparison to verify the identity of faces.
• Gender and age detection – classify whether a face belongs to a child, adult, or senior. Or identify the perceived gender identity of a face based on features.
• Emotion recognition – Identify a range of emotions including happiness, sadness, anger, etc., based on facial expression.

IDrive Face ensures the security of user data with end-to-end SSL encryption for all API requests. Additionally, all API transactions require an API-Key authorization. This API- Key is user-generated using AES-256 encryption, and users can generate a new API Key any time via the IDrive Face web console.
