# FaceDirection

Restrict detection to faces looking in specific directions only. You can set this parameter to `any` (for any direction) or a comma-separated list of the following values:

`Front` | Detect only faces looking directly at the camera. This setting is the fastest and produces fewer false positives.
`Three-quarter` | Detect only faces shown at a three-quarter view (between a front view and a profile view).
`Profile` | Detect only faces shown in profile (viewed side-on).

Type: | String
Default: | Any
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | TaskName
Example: | To detect only faces that are looking directly at the camera: `FaceDirection=front` To detect all faces, except those viewed in profile: `FaceDirection=front,three-quarter`
