1. API Description
Domain name for API request: iai.tencentcloudapi.com.
This API is used to add a set of face images to a person. One person can have up to 5 images. If a person exists in multiple groups, the images will be added to all those groups for the person.
- Please use the signature algorithm v3 to calculate the signature in the common parameters, that is, set the
SignatureMethodparameter toTC3-HMAC-SHA256.
We recommend you to use API Explorer
Try it
API Explorer provides a range of capabilities, including online call, signature authentication, SDK code generation, and API quick search. It enables you to view the request, response, and auto-generated examples.
2. Input Parameters
The following request parameter list only provides API request parameters and some common parameters. For the complete common parameter list, see Common Request Parameters.
| Parameter Name | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Action | Yes | String | Common Params. The value used for this API: CreateFace. |
| Version | Yes | String | Common Params. The value used for this API: 2020-03-03. |
| Region | No | String | Common Params. This parameter is not required for this API. |
| PersonId | Yes | String | Person ID, which is the PersonId in the CreatePerson API. |
| Images.N | No | Array of String | Base64-encoded image data, which cannot exceed 5 MB. The long side cannot exceed 4,000 px for images in JPG format or 2,000 px for images in other formats. A person can have up to 5 face images. If there are multiple faces in the image, only the face with the largest size will be selected. PNG, JPG, JPEG, and BMP images are supported, while GIF images are not. |
| Urls.N | No | Array of String | Image URL. The image cannot exceed 5 MB in size after being Base64-encoded. The long side cannot exceed 4,000 px for images in JPG format or 2,000 px for images in other formats. Either Url or Image must be provided; if both are provided, only Url will be used. We recommend storing the image in Tencent Cloud, as a Tencent Cloud URL can guarantee higher download speed and stability. The download speed and stability of non-Tencent Cloud URLs may be low. PNG, JPG, JPEG, and BMP images are supported, while GIF images are not. A person can have up to 5 face images. If there are multiple faces in the image, only the face with the largest size will be selected. |
| FaceMatchThreshold | No | Float | Only faces whose similarity to an existing face of the person is above the value of FaceMatchThreshold can be added successfully. Default value: 60. Value range: [0,100]. |
| QualityControl | No | Integer | Image quality control. 0: no control. 1: low quality requirement. The image has one or more of the following problems: extreme blurriness, covered eyes, covered nose, and covered mouth. 2: average quality requirement. The image has at least three of the following problems: excessive brightness, excessive dimness, blurriness or average blurriness, covered eyebrows, covered cheeks, and covered chin. 3: high-quality requirement. The image has one to two of the following problems: excessive brightness, excessive dimness, average blurriness, covered eyebrows, covered cheeks, and covered chin. 4: very high-quality requirement. The image is optimal in all dimensions or only has a slight problem in one dimension. Default value: 0. If the image quality does not meet the requirement, the returned result will prompt that the detected image quality is unsatisfactory. |
| NeedRotateDetection | No | Integer | Whether to enable the support for rotated image recognition. 0: no; 1: yes. Default value: 0. When the face in the image is rotated and the image has no EXIF information, if this parameter is not enabled, the face in the image cannot be correctly detected and recognized. If you are sure that the input image contains EXIF information or the face in the image will not be rotated, do not enable this parameter, as the overall time consumption may increase by hundreds of milliseconds after it is enabled. |
3. Output Parameters
| Parameter Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SucFaceNum | Integer | Number of successfully added faces |
| SucFaceIds | Array of String | List of IDs of successfully added faces |
| RetCode | Array of Integer | Adding result for each face image. -1101: no face detected; -1102: image decoding failed; -1601: the image quality control requirement is not met; -1604: the face similarity is not above FaceMatchThreshold. Other non-zero values: algorithm service exception. The order of RetCode values is the same as the order of Images or Urls in the input parameter. |
| SucIndexes | Array of Integer | Indexes of successfully added faces. The order of indexes is the same as the order of Images or Urls in the input parameter. For example, if there are 3 URLs in Urls, and the second URL fails, then the value of SucIndexes will be [0,2]. |
| SucFaceRects | Array of FaceRect | Frame positions of successfully added faces. The order is the same as the order of Images or Urls in the input parameter. |
| FaceModelVersion | String | Algorithm model version used for face recognition. |
| RequestId | String | The unique request ID, which is returned for each request. RequestId is required for locating a problem. |
