How the Service Works
Verified.africa’s Face Match Engine utilises advanced AI algorithms to capture high-quality images in real-time, conduct liveness detection checks, clean up backgrounds, and verify identities. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
Liveness Detection Checks: The system employs motion detection, head tracking, and facial movement analysis to ensure the user is a live person, preventing fraudsters from using static images or videos.
Background Cleanup: Advanced algorithms remove background noise and distractions, allowing the focus to remain solely on the person’s face, enhancing accuracy in facial recognition.
Face Verification: Facial recognition technology compares the individual’s face with a reference image, such as a passport or driver’s license, to ensure identity verification with 99.9% accuracy.
Image Quality Validation: The system checks the image’s quality to ensure clarity and accuracy, adhering to global International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards for machine-readable travel documents.
