Container for the parameters to the DetectFaces operation. Detects faces within an image (JPEG or PNG) that is provided as input.
For each face detected, the operation returns face details including a bounding box of the face, a confidence value (that the bounding box contains a face), and a fixed set of attributes such as facial landmarks (for example, coordinates of eye and mouth), gender, presence of beard, sunglasses, etc.
The face-detection algorithm is most effective on frontal faces. For non-frontal or obscured faces, the algorithm may not detect the faces or might detect faces with lower confidence.
This is a stateless API operation. That is, the operation does not persist any data.
For an example, see get-started-exercise-detect-faces.
This operation requires permissions to perform the rekognition:DetectFaces action.
