A photo array are pictures viewed by a victim or witness. There are usually a minimum of six photos which are similar to the suspect picture, which is placed in a random position of the six.
An in-person line up is when a victim or witness views a number of people live, one of which is thought to be the suspect.
As a side note, although some television shows have shown this as a common occurrence, a in-person line up is very rare and easily challenged in court as unduly suggestive.
Look up the term "Show up" which is the third way identification of an unknown suspect is sometimes completed.
