The Cloud Vision API lets you detect multiple faces within an image along with
associated key facial attributes, such as headwear or facial landmarks.
Use Cloud Vision for computer vision tasks and image analysis that requires
you to identify these general facial aspects.

[Facial recognition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_recognition_system)
technology, which is distinct from facial detection, identifies or verifies a
specific individual from an image against a database of known people. The
Cloud Vision API doesn't support facial recognition or individual identification.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The Vision API now supports offline **asynchronous batch image annotation** for all features. This asynchronous request supports up to 2000 image files and returns response JSON files that are stored in your Cloud Storage bucket. For more information about this feature, refer to [Offline batch image annotation](https://docs.cloud.google.com/vision/docs/batch.md.txt).

## Face detection requests

### Set up your Google Cloud project and authentication


If you have not created a Google Cloud project, do so now. Expand this section for instructions.

### Detect faces in a local image

You can use the Vision API to perform feature detection on a local image file.

For REST requests, send the contents of the image file as a
[base64 encoded](https://docs.cloud.google.com/vision/docs/base64.md.txt) string in the body of your request.

For `gcloud` and client library requests, specify the path to a local image in your
request.

### REST


Before using any of the request data,
make the following replacements:

- <var translate="no">BASE64_ENCODED_IMAGE</var>: The base64 representation (ASCII string) of your binary image data. This string should look similar to the following string:
  - `/9j/4QAYRXhpZgAA...9tAVx/zDQDlGxn//2Q==`

  Visit the [base64 encode](https://docs.cloud.google.com/vision/docs/base64.md.txt) topic for more information.
- <var translate="no">RESULTS_INT</var>: (Optional) An integer value of results to return. If you omit the `"maxResults"` field and its value, the API returns the default value of 10 results. This field does not apply to the following feature types: `TEXT_DETECTION`, `DOCUMENT_TEXT_DETECTION`, or `CROP_HINTS`.
- <var translate="no">PROJECT_ID</var>: Your Google Cloud project ID.


HTTP method and URL:

```
POST https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/images:annotate
```


Request JSON body:

```
{
  "requests": [
    {
      "image": {
        "content": "BASE64_ENCODED_IMAGE"
      },
      "features": [
        {
          "maxResults": RESULTS_INT,
          "type": "FACE_DETECTION"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

To send your request, choose one of these options:

#### curl

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The following command assumes that you have logged in to the `gcloud` CLI with your user account by running [`gcloud init`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/init) or [`gcloud auth login`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/auth/login.md.txt) , or by using [Cloud Shell](https://docs.cloud.google.com/shell/docs.md.txt), which automatically logs you into the `gcloud` CLI . You can check the currently active account by running [`gcloud auth list`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/auth/list.md.txt).


Save the request body in a file named `request.json`,
and execute the following command:

```
curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "x-goog-user-project: PROJECT_ID" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
     -d @request.json \
     "https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/images:annotate"
```

#### PowerShell

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The following command assumes that you have logged in to the `gcloud` CLI with your user account by running [`gcloud init`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/init) or [`gcloud auth login`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/auth/login.md.txt) . You can check the currently active account by running [`gcloud auth list`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/auth/list.md.txt).


Save the request body in a file named `request.json`,
and execute the following command:

```
$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred"; "x-goog-user-project" = "PROJECT_ID" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method POST `
    -Headers $headers `
    -ContentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" `
    -InFile request.json `
    -Uri "https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/images:annotate" | Select-Object -Expand Content
```

If the request is successful, the server returns a `200 OK` HTTP status code and the
response in JSON format.

A `FACE_DETECTION` response includes bounding boxes for all faces detected, landmarks
detected on the faces (eyes, nose, mouth, etc.), and confidence ratings for face and image
properties (such as underexposed, blurred, and headwear). Note that emotion likelihood fields
(`joyLikelihood`, `sorrowLikelihood`, `angerLikelihood`, and
`surpriseLikelihood`) are deprecated and return `UNKNOWN`.

### Go


Before trying this sample, follow the Go setup instructions in the
[Vision quickstart using
client libraries](https://docs.cloud.google.com/vision/docs/quickstart-client-libraries).


For more information, see the
[Vision Go API
reference documentation](https://godoc.org/cloud.google.com/go/vision/apiv1).


To authenticate to Vision, set up Application Default Credentials.
For more information, see

[Set up authentication for a local development environment](https://docs.cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/set-up-adc-local-dev-environment.md.txt).

```go

// detectFaces gets faces from the Vision API for an image at the given file path.
func detectFaces(w io.Writer, file string) error {
	ctx := context.Background()

	client, err := vision.NewImageAnnotatorClient(ctx)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	defer client.Close()

	f, err := os.Open(file)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	defer f.Close()

	image, err := vision.NewImageFromReader(f)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	annotations, err := client.DetectFaces(ctx, image, nil, 10)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	if len(annotations) == 0 {
		fmt.Fprintln(w, "No faces found.")
	} else {
		fmt.Fprintln(w, "Faces:")
		for i, annotation := range annotations {
			fmt.Fprintln(w, "  Face", i)
			fmt.Fprintln(w, "    Anger:", annotation.AngerLikelihood)
			fmt.Fprintln(w, "    Joy:", annotation.JoyLikelihood)
			fmt.Fprintln(w, "    Surprise:", annotation.SurpriseLikelihood)
		}

### Java

Before trying this sample, follow the Java setup instructions in the
[Vision API Quickstart
Using Client Libraries](https://docs.cloud.google.com/vision/docs/detect-labels-image-client-libraries). For more information, see the
[Vision API Java reference documentation](https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/reference/google-cloud-vision/latest/overview).

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** For Java **Spring framework** users, [Spring Cloud Google Cloud](https://docs.cloud.google.com/vision/docs/adding-spring.md.txt) offers a way to automatically configure authentication settings and client objects to use Vision API.

### Detect faces in a remote image

You can use the Vision API to perform feature detection on a remote image file that is located
in Cloud Storage or on the Web. To send a remote file request, specify the file's Web URL or
Cloud Storage URI in the request body.

> [!CAUTION]
> **Caution:** When fetching images from HTTP/HTTPS URLs, Google cannot guarantee that the request will be completed. Your request might fail if the specified host denies the request (for example, due to request throttling or [DoS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack) prevention), or if Google throttles requests to the site for abuse prevention. **As a best practice, don't
> depend on externally-hosted images for production applications**.

### REST


Before using any of the request data,
make the following replacements:

- <var translate="no">CLOUD_STORAGE_IMAGE_URI</var>: the path to a valid image file in a Cloud Storage bucket. You must at least have read privileges to the file. Example:
  -

    ```restructuredtext
    gs://cloud-samples-data/vision/face/faces.jpeg
    ```
- <var translate="no">RESULTS_INT</var>: (Optional) An integer value of results to return. If you omit the `"maxResults"` field and its value, the API returns the default value of 10 results. This field does not apply to the following feature types: `TEXT_DETECTION`, `DOCUMENT_TEXT_DETECTION`, or `CROP_HINTS`.
- <var translate="no">PROJECT_ID</var>: Your Google Cloud project ID.


HTTP method and URL:

```
POST https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/images:annotate
```


Request JSON body:

```
{
  "requests": [
    {
      "image": {
        "source": {
          "imageUri": "CLOUD_STORAGE_IMAGE_URI"
        }
       },
       "features": [
         {
           "maxResults": RESULTS_INT,
           "type": "FACE_DETECTION"
         }
       ]
    }
  ]
}
```

To send your request, choose one of these options:

#### curl

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The following command assumes that you have logged in to the `gcloud` CLI with your user account by running [`gcloud init`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/init) or [`gcloud auth login`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/auth/login.md.txt) , or by using [Cloud Shell](https://docs.cloud.google.com/shell/docs.md.txt), which automatically logs you into the `gcloud` CLI . You can check the currently active account by running [`gcloud auth list`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/auth/list.md.txt).


Save the request body in a file named `request.json`,
and execute the following command:

```
curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "x-goog-user-project: PROJECT_ID" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
     -d @request.json \
     "https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/images:annotate"
```

#### PowerShell

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The following command assumes that you have logged in to the `gcloud` CLI with your user account by running [`gcloud init`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/init) or [`gcloud auth login`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/auth/login.md.txt) . You can check the currently active account by running [`gcloud auth list`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/auth/list.md.txt).


Save the request body in a file named `request.json`,
and execute the following command:

```
$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred"; "x-goog-user-project" = "PROJECT_ID" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method POST `
    -Headers $headers `
    -ContentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" `
    -InFile request.json `
    -Uri "https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/images:annotate" | Select-Object -Expand Content
```

If the request is successful, the server returns a `200 OK` HTTP status code and the
response in JSON format.

A `FACE_DETECTION` response includes bounding boxes for all faces detected, landmarks
detected on the faces (eyes, nose, mouth, etc.), and confidence ratings for face and image
properties (such as underexposed, blurred, and headwear). Note that emotion likelihood fields
(`joyLikelihood`, `sorrowLikelihood`, `angerLikelihood`, and
`surpriseLikelihood`) are deprecated and return `UNKNOWN`.
