id3 Face SDK
Fontanil-Cornillon, France
What it is
id3 Face SDK is a cross-platform development kit for adding face detection, tracking, liveness checks, and identification to server, mobile, and edge applications. It supports biometric capture with cameras from a wide range of manufacturers. Facial analysis includes landmarks, pose estimation, mask detection, and ICAO-compliant facial attribute determination. Recognition can compare one face with another or search a database. Passive and active liveness detection are intended to address presentation attacks such as photos or videos. The SDK supports Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS, and lists development languages including C, C++, C#, Dart, F#, Java, Kotlin, Objective-C, Python, Swift, and VB.NET. Its product resources include API references, integration guides, and code samples. id3 says its face recognition algorithm has been evaluated in the NIST Face Recognition Technology Evaluation. A developer license is required to build an application, and each deployed end-user device needs a runtime license. Evaluation licensing includes a full-featured 60-day trial; listed Evaluation plan details also specify limited API calls, community support, and a single platform. Professional and Enterprise pricing is available on request. Licenses are locked to a device using a hardware code, and hardware or system changes can invalidate them. id3 Technologies was founded in 1990 near Grenoble, France.
For and against
For
- Face detection, tracking, liveness, and identification
- Supports Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS
- Includes API references, guides, and code samples
- 60-day evaluation trial
Against
- Developer and per-device runtime licenses required
- Professional and Enterprise pricing is on request
- Hardware or system changes can invalidate a license
- Evaluation plan limits API calls and platforms
The verdict
id3 Face SDK covers capture, analysis, matching, and liveness functions across several platforms. Teams should account for both developer and deployment licensing, along with device-locked licenses and evaluation limits.
Who it suits
id3 Face SDK suits developers building self-hosted face biometric functions for servers, mobile devices, or edge devices. Its language options and developer resources may be relevant to teams integrating face analysis and recognition.
