Detecting faces on photo​

In the "Detecting Faces On Photo" mode, a preview from the device's camera is displayed on the application screen. The "Take a photo of the document" instruction is displayed at the top of the application screen.

The buttons "Take a photo" (bottom left) and "Change Camera" (bottom right) are displayed at the bottom of the screen. To continue working, take a photo of the document with the face image. Click the "Take a photo" button (bottom left) to take a picture. After that, a photo "Detected faces" will be displayed on the device screen, the detected face will be marked with a bounding box.

After successful face detection, the "Next" button will appear in the photo (bottom right) to switch to the Active Liveness check mode.

To pass the Active Liveness test correctly, there must be only one face in the camera frame. Active Liveness check starts automatically when a face is detected.

Steps to be taken to pass the Active Liveness test, are displayed in the application as messages at the top of the screen.

The progress indicator of the current check is displayed on the application screen at the bottom.

If the application displays the message "Please, look at the camera", it is necessary to align the position of the face with the camera (angles of inclination of the head from the vertical axis should not exceed 15 degrees).

After passing the Active Liveness test, you will see the verdict "PASSED" or "FAILED" displayed at the top of the application screen and the "Next" button at the bottom right. Press the "Next" button to see the face evaluation results.

Click on the "Next" button to display the following results on the application screen:
