This article explains the concepts of face detection and face attribute data. Face detection is the action of locating human faces in an image and optionally returning different kinds of face-related data.

You use the [Face - Detect](https://westus.dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/563879b61984550e40cbbe8d/operations/563879b61984550f30395236) operation to detect faces in an image. At a minimum, each detected face corresponds to a faceRectangle field in the response. This set of pixel coordinates for the left, top, width, and height mark the located face. Using these coordinates, you can get the location of the face and its size. In the API response, faces are listed in size order from largest to smallest.

To get started using the REST API or a client SDK, follow a [quickstart](../Quickstarts/client-libraries.md). Or, for a more in-depth guide, see [Call the detect API](../Face-API-How-to-Topics/HowtoDetectFacesinImage.md).

Each detected face corresponds to a `faceRectangle` field in the response. This is a set of pixel coordinates for the left, top, width, and height of the detected face. Using these coordinates, you can get the location and size of the face. In the API response, faces are listed in size order from largest to smallest.

* **Head pose**. The face's orientation in 3D space. This attribute is described by the roll, yaw, and pitch angles in degrees, which are defined according to the [right-hand rule](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule). The order of three angles is roll-yaw-pitch, and each angle's value range is from -180 degrees to 180 degrees. 3D orientation of the face is estimated by the roll, yaw, and pitch angles in order. See the following diagram for angle mappings:

* **Makeup**. Whether the face has makeup. This attribute returns a Boolean value for eyeMakeup and lipMakeup.
5359
* **Mask**. Whether the face is wearing a mask. This attribute returns a possible mask type, and a Boolean value to indicate whether nose and mouth are covered.
5460
* **Noise**. The visual noise detected in the face image. This attribute returns a value between zero and one and an informal rating of low, medium, or high.

summary: "The Azure Face service provides AI algorithms that detect, recognize, and analyze human faces in images. Facial recognition software is important in many different scenarios, such as identity verification, touchless access control, and face blurring for privacy. \n\nOn June 11, 2020, Microsoft announced that it will not sell facial recognition technology to police departments in the United States until strong regulation, grounded in human rights, has been enacted. As such, customers may not use facial recognition features or features included in Azure Services, such as Face or Azure Video Analyzer for Media, if a customer is, or is allowing use of such services by or for, a police department in the United States."
