Description

The Android face detection API includes orientation angles for detected faces. Similarly, the Google Cloud Vision API includes roll, pan and tilt angles for detected faces. It would be useful to have these details for detected faces if they are made available by the underlying system API. In cases where the author intends to decorate detected faces with art work, these angles can help the author to make the decorations more adaptive to the scene.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Android FaceDetector.Face and Google Cloud Vision FaceAnnotation references linked in the issue, then inspect the shape detection API specification. Determine whether the underlying face-detection systems expose roll, pan, and tilt consistently. Done means the API design and specification clearly define how these orientation angles are exposed, including behavior when they are unavailable.
