12.9 azcv faces

The faces command asks the AI to identify faces in the photo, returning the bounding box, and recognising whether the face is male or female, and the age. One line of text is returned for each face identified so by counting the number of lines of text we count the number of faces found. The text output from the AI also allows us to communicate the results on to other processes.

235 158 311 234,Female,18
323 163 391 231,Female,8

A typical example of further processing the output from the command is to pipe the results into a command that will draw the bounding boxes onto the photo itself. We see the resulting photo above, on the right. To do that yourself have a look at the Section on pipelines, that is Section ??.
