Description
- face_recognition version: 1.2.3
- Python version: 3.7.0
- Operating System: OSX
Description
dlib allows you to see the confidence of a detected face. However, this functionality is not exposed in face_recognition. Could there be an option to face_locations, or a different method, that includes the detection confidence?
What I Did

Research direction
Start with the face_locations entry point and its documentation, then inspect the code that delegates face detection to dlib and review the linked confidence discussion. Done means providing an optional way to return detection confidence without breaking the existing face_locations behavior.
