Return Value

Compares probe Person to all candidate Persons and returns the most similar candidates. Calling Identify(Person, IEnumerable<(Of <<'(Person>)>>)) is conceptually identical to calling Verify(Person, Person) in a loop except that Identify(Person, IEnumerable<(Of <<'(Person>)>>)) is significantly faster than loop of Verify(Person, Person) calls. If there is no candidate with score at or above Threshold, Identify(Person, IEnumerable<(Of <<'(Person>)>>)) returns empty collection.

Most applications need only the best match, which can be obtained by calling FirstOrDefault<(Of <<'(TSource>)>>)(IEnumerable<(Of <<'(TSource>)>>)) method on the returned collection. Matching score for every returned Person can be obtained by calling Verify(Person, Person) on probe Person and the matching Person.

Persons passed to this method must have valid Template for every Fingerprint, i.e. they must have passed through Extract(Person) method.
