Introduction

Face Recognition Service (FRS) uses computers to process, analyze, and understand human facial features in images. You can obtain the facial image processing results by calling APIs in real time. FRS automatically recognizes and compares faces, and allows you to query the similarity.

FRS provides services through open APIs. To call APIs and process the results returned in JSON format, you need basic programming skills.

You can choose one of the following methods to call FRS APIs:

• Software tool such as curl or Postman

  This is a good option if you are more comfortable writing code, HTTP requests, and API calls. For details, see Calling the Face Detection APIs.

• Software development kit (SDK)

  Java SDK is available for quick integration.

  To use this method, you need to write and debug code, and install and configure the development environment. For details, see Using an SDK for Face Detection.
