## **Introducing the [Face Compare API](https://www.edenai.co/feature/face-comparison?referral=integrate-resume-parser-make)**
We are thrilled to announce the launch of a new feature on our platform: [AI Face Comparison](https://www.edenai.co/feature/face-comparison?referral=integrate-resume-parser-make). Also known as Face Similarity, this task in Computer Vision is becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to quickly and accurately compare faces in digital images.

‍

## **How does Face Similarity work?**
Face Comparison API is used to assess the likeness between two individuals by comparing their facial features.

This API can evaluate the similarity of faces from two separate photos, or validate the identity of a person by contrasting a face from an image against a reference facial image. This involves the submission of two images: one being the ground truth from an official document like an ID, and the second being a validation image such as a selfie.

The Face Comparison API employing sophisticated algorithms, accomplishes this task through the detection of facial landmarks, extraction of distinctive facial features, and advanced face recognition techniques.

## **Face Comparison vs. Face Recognition vs. Face Detection**
Utilizing sophisticated algorithms, Face Detection, Face Recognition, and Face Comparison APIs perform unique tasks despite their similar functionalities.

Face Detection API identifies the presence of human faces in images or videos, examining attributes like landmarks, sentiment, clothing, etc. In contrast, Face Recognition API provides more advanced capabilities beyond mere face detection; it searches databases for faces present in a provided image and identifies the ones most resembling the query image.

Each serves different but interconnected purposes in the realm of facial analysis technology.
