# faceCaptureQuality

A value that indicates the quality of the face capture.

```
@property (nonatomic, strong, readonly, nullable) NSNumber * faceCaptureQuality;
```

## Discussion

The capture quality of the face allows you to compare the quality of the face in terms of its capture attributes: lighting, blur, and prime positioning. Use this value to compare the capture quality of a face against other captures of the same face in a specified set.

The value of this property value ranges from `0.0` to `1.0`. Faces with quality closer to `1.0` are better lit, sharper, and more centrally positioned than faces with quality closer to `0.0`.
