NAME

       facedetect - simple face detector for batch processing

SYNOPSIS

       facedetect [-h] [--biggest] [--best] [-c] [-q] [-o OUTPUT] [-d] file

DESCRIPTION

       Facedetect  is a simple face detector for batch processing. It answers the basic question:
       "Is there a face in this image?" and gives back either an exit code or the coordinates  of
       each detected face in the standard output.

       The  aim  is  to  provide a basic command-line interface that's consistent and easy to use
       with software such as ImageMagick, while progressively improving the  detection  algorithm
       over time.

       facedetect  is  used in software such as fgallery to improve the thumbnail cutting region,
       so that faces are always centered.

OPTIONS

   positional arguments:
       file   Input image file

   optional arguments:
       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       --biggest
              Extract only the biggest face

       --best Extract only the best matching face

       -c, --center
              Print only the center coordinates

       -q, --query
              Query only (exit 0: face detected, 2: no detection)
