Term

Description

Approximate Garbage Score (AGS)

The «quality» value of a face as determined by the neural network prior to descriptor extraction

Bestshot

A frame of a video stream in which a face is captured at the optimal angle for further processing

Bbox (Bounding Box)

A rectangle that bounds the image space with the detected face

Deepfake

An artificial intelligence-based human image synthesis technique. It is used to combine and superimpose existing images and videos onto source images or videos

Docker

An open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications. Docker provides the ability to package and run an application in a loosely isolated environment called a container

Docker Compose

A tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications

Docker registry

A tool for storing Docker images

Descriptor

Data set in closed, binary format prepared by recognition system based on the characteristic being analyzed

Docker container

A runnable instance of an image. A container is defined by its image as well as any configuration options provided to it when it was created or started. When a container is removed, any changes to its state that are not stored in persistent storage disappear.

The isolation and security allow to run many containers simultaneously on a given host

Docker image

A read-only template with instructions for creating a Docker container

Liveness algorithm

Software method that enables you to confirm whether a person in one or more images is “real” or a fraudster using a fake ID (printed face photo, video, paper or 3D mask)

LUNA PLATFORM

VisionLabs automated facial recognition system designed to process, collect, analyze, store, and compare biometric data obtained from facial images

LUNA SDK (Software development kit)

VisionLabs development kit including libraries and neural networks for face detection, attribute estimation and Liveness estimation on the acquired image

Plugin

Independently compiled program module, dynamically connected to LUNA PASS API and designed to extend its capabilities

Spoofing attack

Substitution of a real person for a fake image (for example, a photograph) to deceive the system
