I am trying to implement Facial authentication in Android. I can see Android SDK has Face Detector API where I can detect the faces. But is there any API which can be used to authenticate the user on basis of Facial recognition. For Example, I have put my Face as a password in Android and now I need to write code to check the face data which I have stored while locking my Android device.

Regards, Munish

    Thanks for reply. I have seen these sites and links already but these are third party tools and does not really solving the problem. I am checking Android face authentication. I appreciate your help but I need to know if Andoid has any Face recognition api for authentication like it has for Biometric(thumb impression) authentication. – Munish Dec 19 '17 at 02:34
  • as of my experience, there is no any application using facial recognition in their app by using android's default facial recognition. Since majority of android device has no facial recognition feature (as one of a default lock screen function). I also suggest 3rd party library as it not cause much difficulties for end-user by just setup the facial authentication for first time usage only. – JiratPasuksmit Dec 19 '17 at 02:56
