Age Estimation
With this method, the users will simply be asked to look at the camera and have their selfie taken to estimate their age.
This option should be configured with a threshold higher than your age of interest.
Yoti details true positive rates for different ages in the Facial Age Estimation whitepaper which can be found here.
The image is analysed by an algorithm that has been trained to determine age by analysing facial features. A robust facial age estimation process should also include liveness detection technology to ensure it’s a real person in front of the camera.
Good for:
- People without ID documents
- Global coverage
- Low friction
Liveness explained
Our liveness technology looks at the texture, depth and edges of a person’s face and their surroundings for signs of spoofing and requires no movement from the user.
