face detection

Finding human visages

Face detection is technology that identifies human faces in digital images or video.

It locates faces within a frame without necessarily identifying who they are—that's face recognition.

Face detection enables autofocus in cameras, filters in social media apps, and security systems that need to know a face is present: The camera uses face detection to adjust exposure.
