Liveness Validation in Live Attendance is a feature that can detect whether the selfie taken is a real face or not. This process is useful for ensuring that there is no fraud when employees take attendance directly by detecting whether the selfie taken is a real face or not. Unlike face recognition , Liveness Validation can distinguish which is a real face or an artificial face image.
