    'recognitionModel' => 'recognition_02',
    'detectionModel' => 'detection_01',
    'returnFaceId' => 'true',
    'returnFaceLandmarks' => 'true',
    'returnFaceAttributes' => 'age,gender,glasses,smile,noise,hair,accessories,emotion,makeup,headPose,facialHair,occlusion,blur,exposure',

dd($face);

Examples

Detect Faces using URL.

$face = AzureFace::detectFacesFromUrl('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d2/Donald_Trump_August_19%2C_2015_%28cropped%29.jpg/245px-Donald_Trump_August_19%2C_2015_%28cropped%29.jpg', [

]);

$face = AzureFace::detectFacesFromFile(file_get_contents(public_path('IMG.jpg')), [
    'recognitionModel' => 'recognition_02',
    'detectionModel' => 'detection_01',
    'returnFaceId' => 'true',
    'returnFaceLandmarks' => 'true',
    'returnFaceAttributes' => 'age,gender,glasses,smile,noise,hair,accessories,emotion,makeup,headPose,facialHair,occlusion,blur,exposure',
