Presenting Image Data
To simplify the processing of facial recognition data, the SETI API accepts JPEG imagery input leveraging Data Urls. Realtime processing of video data can be acheived through the application of JPGE Data Urls within a websocket connection while periodic evaluations are better served through singleton POST operations.
Note regaring image dimensions The performance of facial recognition technolgy within the SETI API is to some degree proportionate to the resolution of the imagery presented. At a minimum, it is recommended to present JPEG images of at least 384 square pixels at 72dpi. Identifitcation is largely improved with samples of at least 1024 pixels.
