Face detection, analysis, and recognition are all common computer vision challenges for AI systems. The ability to detect when a person is present, analyze a person's facial features, or recognize an individual based on their face is a key way in which AI systems can exhibit human-like behavior and build empathy with users.

In this module, you'll explore how the Azure AI Vision Face API enables you to build solutions that analyze faces in images.

Note

Access to the full capabilities of the Face API is restricted in accordance with Microsoft's responsible AI policies. For details, see Limited Access to Face API. This module describes some capabilities that require explicit access. The practical exercise in the module is based on unrestricted features of the service.
