+Use Paravision recognition SDK to compare two images of faces
+Returns face quality scores of both images and a match score
+Quality score range from 0 to 1, where 1 is highest quality for face recognition / matching
+Match score ranges from 400 to 700, where higher score is higher chance of match
+
+New:
+As of Dec 2022, use an open source equivalent to paravision
