Estimated data#

This section lists the general parameters of faces, bodies and images estimated by LUNA PLATFORM 5 and how to get them.

You can get parameters using a some of tools and resources. Basically, getting parameters is done using the following methods:

  1. Extract gender and age from the image. Gender and age belong to the concept of basic attributes.

    The "/extractor", "/sdk" resources and "extract_policy" of "/handlers" and "/verifiers" resources are used to extract basic attributes from a face image.

    To extract basic attributes from the face using the "/extractor" resource, you should first create a sample using the "/detector" resource. In response to the "/extractor" request, the gender and age of the person will be returned. The extracted data have a TTL (time to live) and will be removed from the database after the specified period.

    See the detailed description of extracting basic attributes in the "Descriptor extraction and attribute creation" section.

    When estimating parameters using the "/sdk" resource, you should send the source image to LUNA PLATFORM 5 and specify the "estimate_basic_attributes" parameter in the query parameters. In response to the request, the gender and age of the person will be received. These parameters will not be saved to the database.

    To extract this parameters using the "/handlers" and "/verifiers" requests, you should use the "extract_basic_attributes" parameter of the "extract_policy".

    Gender and age estimation is also available by body image. This method is not accurate and is performed by body parameters estimation (see "Perform estimation of body parameters" below).

  2. Perform estimation of face and image parameters.

    Various resources are used to estimate the parameters. The resources mainly used are "/detector", "/sdk", "/handlers" and "/verifiers".

    When estimating parameters using the "/detector" resource, you need to send the source image to LUNA PLATFORM 5 and specify the estimation of the required face or image parameters in the query parameters. In response to request, a face sample will be created and the specified parameters will be given. The estimated parameters will not be saved in the database.

    The method for getting parameters using the "/sdk" resource is similar to the method described above, however, the sample will not be created. The estimated parameters will also not be saved to the database.

    To estimate parameters using "/handlers" and "/verifiers" resources, you should use the "detect_policy" with required parameters.

  3. Perform estimation of body parameters.

    The ability to perform estimation of body parameters is adjusted by a special parameter in the LUNA PLATFORM 5 license key.

    The "/sdk" and "/handlers" resources are used to estimate body parameters. Using these resources is similar to performing face and image estimation (see above).

  4. Perform check of face and image parameters according to ISO/IEC 19794-5:2011 or custom conditions.

    The ability to perform such checks is adjusted by a special parameter in the LUNA PLATFORM 5 license key.

    The "/iso" and "/detector" ("estimate_face_quality" parameter) resources and the "face_quality" check group of the "detect_policy" of the "/handlers" and "/verifiers" requests are used to perform the check.

    The responses to requests show the overall result of passing all checks ("0" or "1"), as well as the results of each check.

    See the detailed description of this functionality in the "Image check" section.

  5. Perform Liveness estimation.

    The ability to perform such estimation is adjusted by a special parameter in the LUNA PLATFORM 5 license key.

  6. Perform estimation of number of people in the image

All returned values and the response format depend on the resource where the estimation is performed.

In order to get results when sending requests to "/handlers" or "/verifiers" resources, you need to generate an event and perform verification on the specified handlers. See the Handler object section for more information about working with these resources.

Gender and age by face image#

This estimation determines the basic attributes (gender and age) of a person in the face image.

For details on basic attributes, see Attribute object.

Resources where the estimation is performed:

  • "/extractor"

    Estimation name - "extract_basic_attributes".

  • "/handlers"

    Estimation name - "policies" > "extract_policy" > "extract_basic_attributes".

  • "/verifiers"

    Estimation name - "estimate_basic_attributes".

Face parameters#

Eyes attributes#

This estimation determines the following state of eyes for each of the eyes:

  • "open"
  • "closed"
  • "occluded"

Poor quality images or ones that depict obscured eyes (for example, eyewear, hair, gestures) fall into the "occluded" category.

Iris landmarks are determined. An array of 34 landmarks is returned for each eye.

In the "/iso", "/detector" (image checking tool) and "detect_policy" > "face_quality" resources, the estimated value is also compared with threshold (according to ISO or non-standard threshold).

Resources where the estimation is performed:

  • "/detector"

    Estimation name - "estimate_eyes_attributes".

  • "/handlers"

    Estimation name - "policies" > "detect_policy" > "estimate_eyes_attributes".

  • "/verifiers"

    Estimation name - "policies" > "detect_policy" > "estimate_eyes_attributes".

There are two estimations of the face landmarks:

  • Estimation of 5 face landmarks
  • Assessment of 68 face landmarks
Estimate by 5 facial landmarks (left), estimate by 68 facial landmarks (right)

    Estimation name - "detect_landmarks68".

  • "/handlers"

    Estimation name - "policies" > "detect_policy" > "detect_landmarks68".

Image quality#

This estimation determines a probabilistic score for each of the following parameters in the range [0..1], where 0 corresponds to low quality and 1 to high quality:

  • "dark" - The degree of darkness in the photo.
  • "light" - The degree of brightness in the photo.
  • "blur" - The degree of blurriness.
  • "illumination" - The degree of uniformity in illumination. The lower the difference between light and dark zones on the face, the higher the estimated value. When illumination is evenly distributed across the face, the value is close to "1."
  • "specularity" - The degree of absence of glare. The higher the estimated value, the less glare and the better the image quality. If the estimated value is low, there are bright glares on the face.

In the "/iso" and "detect_policy" > "face_quality" resources, the estimated value is also compared with threshold (according to ISO or non-standard threshold).

Image quality is determined using a specially trained VisionLabs neural network. If necessary, you can determine the illumination of the face in the image using an algorithm that performs an estimation in accordance with the ICAO standard (see the section "Illumination uniformity according to ICAO standard).

Examples are presented in the images below. Good quality images are shown on the right.

Blurred image (left), not blurred image (right)
Blurred image (left), not blurred image (right)
Dark image (left), good quality image (right)
Dark image (left), good quality image (right)
Light image (left), good quality image (right)
Light image (left), good quality image (right)
Image with uneven illumination (left), image with even illumination (right)
Image with uneven illumination (left), image with even illumination (right)
Image with specularity - image contains glares on face (left), good quality image (right)
Image with specularity - image contains glares on face (left), good quality image (right)

The most important image quality parameters for face recognition are darkness, light, and blur, so you should select them carefully.

The illumination and secularity parameters enable you to select images of better visual quality. Face recognition is not greatly affected by uneven illumination or glares.

Head pose#

This estimation determines the head pose. The pose is defined by three parameters:

  • pitch angle
  • roll angle
  • yaw angle

The angle values are specified in the range from "-180" to "180".

A positive pitch angle indicates an upward tilt of the head, while a negative angle indicates a downward tilt of the head.

A positive roll angle indicates a rightward deviation of the head, while a negative angle indicates a leftward deviation of the head.

A positive yaw angle indicates a rightward rotation of the head, while a negative angle indicates a leftward rotation of the head.

Head pose
Head pose

In the "/iso" and "detect_policy" > "face_quality" resources, the estimated value is also compared with threshold (according to ISO or non-standard threshold).

In all the resources listed below, with the exception of "/iso", the possibility to filtered out by head pose is availiable.

In the resources "/detector", "/handlers", "/verifiers" and "/sdk", the threshold value is specified from "0" to "180". The default value is "180", which means that the head in the image can be rotated to any angle from "-180" to "180". When you set any other value (for example, "30"), all the detections with the etimated angle less than or equal to "-30" and greater than or equal to "30" will be filtered.

For the "face_quality" field of the "/handlers" and "/verifiers" resources, the minimum and maximum thresholds are set in separate fields.

  • "full" - There is mask on the face, in which the face is completely occluded, for example, balaclava/ski mask.

Each main mask state corresponds to one of two additional properties. The most likely additional property is returned in the "predominant_occlusion" field:

  • The "medical_mask" state corresponds to the "correct" or "mouth" property.
  • The "missing" state corresponds to the "clear" or "chin" property.
  • The "occluded" state corresponds to the "partially" or "full" property.

Liveness#

Note: The ability to perform such estimation is adjusted by a special parameter in the LUNA PLATFORM 5 license key.

The Liveness technology enables LUNA PLATFORM to detect presentation attacks. To estimate Liveness in the LUNA PLATFORM, the estimator LUNA SDK OneShotLiveness is used.

As a result of the Liveness estimation, one of the following results may be returned:

  • "0" - The person is not real.
  • "1" - The person is real.
  • "2" - Result of the check is unknown.

Resources where the estimation is performed:

  • "/handlers"

    Estimation name - "policies" > "detect_policy" > "estimate_liveness".

  • "/verifiers"

    Estimation name - "policies" > "detect_policy" > "estimate_liveness".

  • "/sdk"

    Estimation name - "estimate_liveness".

  • "/liveness"

See "OneShotLiveness description" for more information about Liveness.

Deepfake#

Note: The ability to perform such estimation is adjusted by a special parameter in the LUNA PLATFORM 5 license key.

Note: It is not possible to use a sample as an input image for these estimation.

This estimation enables you to detect facial substitution using DeepFake technology in photo images.

A Deepfake evaluation may return the following results:

  • "prediction" = "fake" - The person is not real.
  • "prediction" = "real" - The person is real.
  • "score" = [0...1] - The degree of reliability of the estimation.

If necessary, you can configure the handler to filter events by the expected result of the Deepfake estimation ("fake" or "real"). To do this, in the request body to create a handler, specify the "deepfake_states" parameter with the value "0" (filter by the value "fake") or "1" (filter by the value "real"). For example, if the "deepfake_states" parameter is "1" (filter by "real"), and the estimator has determined that the result is "fake", then an empty "events" field will be returned in the event, and the results of the check will fall into the "filtered_detections" field.

In the requests "create handler" and "create verifier", it is possible to set the "real_threshold" and the operating "mode". The "sdk" request will use the default values of these parameters (see below) without the possibility of explicit indication.

Threshold

Using the "real_threshold", you can set a value in the range [0...1], below which the system will assume that the person is not real.

For example, if the threshold value is "real_threshold" = "0.5", and the degree of reliability of the estimation is "score" = "0.4", then the result "prediction" = "fake" will be output in the response body. If the threshold value is "real_threshold" = "0.6", and the degree of reliability of the estimation is "score" = "0.7", then the result "prediction" = "real" will be given in the response body.

The default value is "0.5".

Mode

The operating modes are described in the table below.

Operating mode

Description

"mode" = "1"

Simplified operation mode.

"mode" = "2" (default)

Operation mode using an additional neural network model.

When using this mode, a preliminary estimation of the face in the source image will be additionally performed.

If the result of the preliminary check determined that the face is fake, then the result "score" = "0" and "prediction" = "fake" will be returned in the response body.

For correct verification results, the following requirements must be met.

The table below shows the requirements for head pose:

Parameter Required range
"pitch" [-20...20]
"yaw" [-30...30]
