Face Enrollment

Threshold

During face enrollment, 1:N comparison is used to determine whether the user

has already registered before.

When the similarity between the acquired facial image and all registered facial

templates is greater than this threshold, it indicates that the face has already

been registered.

Face Pitch Angle

The pitch angle is the tolerance of a face for facial registration and comparison.

If a face’s pitch angle exceeds this set value, it will be filtered by the algorithm,

i.e. ignored by the terminal thus no registration and comparison interface will

be triggered.

Face Rotation Angle

The rotation angle is the tolerance of a face for facial template registration and

comparison.

If a face’s rotation angle exceeds this set value, it w

ill be filtered by the

algorithm, i.e. ignored by the terminal thus no r

egistration and comparison

interface will be triggered.

Image Quality

It defines the Image quality for facial registration and comparison. The higher

the value, the clearer the image.

LED Light Triggered

Threshold

This value controls the on and off states of the LED light. The larger the value,

the more frequently the LED light will be turned on.

Motion Detection

Sensitivity

A measurement of the amount of change in a camera’s field of view that

qualifies as potential motion detection that wakes up the terminal from

standby to the comparison interface. The larger the value, the more sensitive

the system would be, i.e. if a larger value is set, the comparison interface can be

easily and frequently triggered.

Live Detection

Detecting a spoof attempt by determining whether the source of a biometric

sample is a live human being or a fake representation using visible light images.

Live Detection

Threshold

Helping to judge whether the visible image comes from an alive body. The

larger the value, the better the visible light anti-spoofing performance.
