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, compares faces, and allow 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 Face Recognition APIs:

• Software tool such as curl or Postman

  These are good options if you are more comfortable writing code, HTTP requests, and API calls. For details, see Calling APIs for Face Detection.

• Software development kit (SDK)

  Java SDK isavailable 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.
