Face Detection

Core Image provides the capability to detect faces and facial features in an image or a video. Face detection can be used for a number of useful things; for example, the standard Camera app in iOS 6 can highlight faces in the viewfinder. Face locations and dimensions can be used in filters to make faces anonymous or highlight faces in a number of engaging ways. The sample app contains functionality to detect and highlight faces and face features in the source image.
