# getEncodingModel method

FaceModel getEncodingModel()

Gets the model used to create features and assess consistancy among views of a given face. Hint: Default value is FaceEncoder9B. Some better accuracy/speed balances can be found by choosing another model.

return Model used to create features and assess consistancy among views of a given face. throws FaceException An error has occurred during Face Library execution.

## Implementation

    FaceModel getEncodingModel() {
      Pointer<Int32> pEncodingModel = calloc();
      try {
        var err = faceSDK.id3FaceTracker_GetEncodingModel(_pHandle.value, pEncodingModel);
        if (err != FaceError.success.value) {
          throw FaceException(err);
        }
        final vEncodingModel = FaceModelX.fromValue(pEncodingModel.value);
        return vEncodingModel;
      } finally {
        calloc.free(pEncodingModel);
      }
    }
