Facial Comparison

Verify whether two faces belong to the same person — works on portraits, selfies, and identity documents (CNIC, passport). The system automatically extracts the face from an ID card and compares it against a live photo. Deployed across 40+ financial institutions for customer onboarding and fraud prevention.

1. Face extraction — The system automatically locates every face in the uploaded image, including faces embedded in identity documents like CNICs and passports. No manual cropping required.

2. Alignment — Each detected face is geometrically normalised to a canonical frontal pose using facial landmark positions, making the comparison robust to head tilt, lighting, and image angle.

3. Feature encoding — The aligned face is passed through a deep neural network (custom-trained) that compresses it into a compact numerical representation capturing unique facial geometry.

4. Robust matching — Multiple augmented versions of each face are compared, and the results are averaged to produce a stable similarity score resilient to minor image quality variations.

5. Confidence scoring — The similarity score is converted into an intuitive 0–99.9% confidence value along with a clear Match / No Match verdict.

Privacy — All processing happens entirely within the inference session. No image, face crop, score, or metadata is written to disk, logged, or sent to any external service. Once your session ends, nothing is retained.
