Notes

  1. 1.

    Note that the CIDetector will remain as is in Core Image, whereas new algorithms for improved face detection are expected to became available through Vision Framework.

  2. 2.

    To ensure proper handling of input images with arbitrary orientations, you should also pass the image’s orientation to the image request handler.
