# How to configure face detection?

Video Capture SDK .Net

Face detection is a technology that identifies and locates human faces in digital images. It's widely used in security systems, camera software, and for analyzing facial expressions.

# 1. Configure your video source: webcam, IP camera, etc. Set preview or capture mode to use

# 2. Set face tracking settings 

VideoCapture1.Face_Tracking = new FaceTrackingSettings
                                              {
                                                  ColorMode = CamshiftMode.RGB,
                                                  Highlight = true,
                                                  MinimumWindowSize = 25,
                                                  ScalingMode = ObjectDetectorScalingMode.GreaterToSmaller,
                                                  SearchMode = ObjectDetectorSearchMode.Single                                                      
                                              };

# 3. Add the OnFaceDetected event to catch faces and fill the text box with coordinates 

public delegate void FaceDelegate(AFFaceDetectionEventArgs e);

public void FaceDelegateMethod(AFFaceDetectionEventArgs e)
{
    edFaceTrackingFaces.Text = string.Empty;

    foreach (var faceRectangle in e.FaceRectangles)
    {
        edFaceTrackingFaces.Text += "(" + faceRectangle.Left + ", " + faceRectangle.Top + "), ("
                                            + faceRectangle.Width + ", " + faceRectangle.Height + ")" + Environment.NewLine;
    }
}

# 4. Start preview or capture, depending on step 1 

async VideoCapture1.StartAsync();
