Verify whether two faces belong to a same person.

Note

    • Higher face image quality means better identification precision. Please consider high-quality faces: frontal, clear, and face size is 200x200 pixels (100 pixels between eyes) or bigger.
    • For the scenarios that are sensitive to accuracy please make your own judgment.
    • The 'recognitionModel' associated with the both faces should be the same.
