Where is personGroup saved for the face api from MS Cognitive Services?

I believe I am misunderstanding how this API works...

I understand that Person Groups contain Persons which contain Person Faces.

And to use Face - Verify, I compare the new image FaceId to the personGroupID and personID.

However, I don't seem to understand how/where the Person Groups are saved.

Are all Person Groups saved within one JSON and can be stored in blob storage or a DB?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. using Node.js

Solution

  • The PersonGroup Create API is a little different in that the caller specifies the ID. Regardless, this ID is stored in the Cognitive Services storage, along with all related information such as the people who comprise this group. The exact nature of the storage is intentionally opaque.

    You can list the PersonGroup's associated with your API key with List API.
