Passive Liveness Verification🪪

Biometrical authentication of user's identity by assessing natural, non-intrusive behavioral or physiological patterns to verify if they are a live image.

Overview

Passive liveness check evaluates a face in an image to determine if it appears passive or lacking in liveliness. (Passive image usually conveys a sense of stillness, calmness, or tranquility.) This might involve looking at features such as the facial expression, eye contact, movement, and lighting in the image to assess the level of engagement or energy conveyed by the face. It returns if the image is a live image or not by giving you a live_score and pop_score value.
