FaceOperationsExtensions.FindSimilarAsync Method

Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Given query face's faceId, to search the similar-looking faces from a faceId array, a face list or a large face list. faceId array contains the faces created by Face - Detect, which will expire 24 hours after creation. A "faceListId" is created by FaceList - Create containing persistedFaceIds that will not expire. And a "largeFaceListId" is created by LargeFaceList - Create containing persistedFaceIds that will also not expire. Depending on the input the returned similar faces list contains faceIds or persistedFaceIds ranked by similarity. <br/>Find similar has two working modes, "matchPerson" and "matchFace". "matchPerson" is the default mode that it tries to find faces of the same person as possible by using internal same-person thresholds. It is useful to find a known person's other photos. Note that an empty list will be returned if no faces pass the internal thresholds. "matchFace" mode ignores same-person thresholds and returns ranked similar faces anyway, even the similarity is low. It can be used in the cases like searching celebrity-looking faces. <br/>The 'recognitionModel' associated with the query face's faceId should be the same as the 'recognitionModel' used by the target faceId array, face list or large face list.

- operations
- IFaceOperations
The operations group for this extension method.
- faceId
- Guid
FaceId of the query face. User needs to call Face - Detect first to get a valid faceId. Note that this faceId is not persisted and will expire 24 hours after the detection call
- faceListId
- String
An existing user-specified unique candidate face list, created in Face List
- Create a Face List. Face list contains a set of persistedFaceIds which are persisted and will never expire. Parameter faceListId, largeFaceListId and faceIds should not be provided at the same time.
- largeFaceListId
- String
An existing user-specified unique candidate large face list, created in LargeFaceList - Create. Large face list contains a set of persistedFaceIds which are persisted and will never expire. Parameter faceListId, largeFaceListId and faceIds should not be provided at the same time.
An array of candidate faceIds. All of them are created by Face - Detect and the faceIds will expire 24 hours after the detection call. The number of faceIds is limited to 1000. Parameter faceListId, largeFaceListId and faceIds should not be provided at the same time.
The number of top similar faces returned. The valid range is [1, 1000].
- mode
- FindSimilarMatchMode
Similar face searching mode. It can be "matchPerson" or "matchFace". Possible values include: 'matchPerson', 'matchFace'
- cancellationToken
- CancellationToken
The cancellation token.
