How to detect people in a photo in Salesforce Apex

What’s a photo app without the ability to detect people autonomously? Today we are going to tackle a method for applying this feature. Don’t worry, this is going to be super easy.

Download our API client and copy the /client folder into the directory of your Apex project.

Now we can implement the recognizeDetectPeople function, like this:

SwagRecognizeApi api = new SwagRecognizeApi();
SwagClient client = api.getClient();
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
ApiKeyAuth Apikey = (ApiKeyAuth) client.getAuthentication('Apikey');
Apikey.setApiKey('YOUR API KEY');
Map<String, Object> params = new Map<String, Object>{
'imageFile' => Blob.valueOf('Sample text file\nContents')
};
try {
// cross your fingers
SwagObjectDetectionResult result = api.recognizeDetectPeople(params);
System.debug(result);
} catch (Swagger.ApiException e) {
// ...handle your exceptions
}

Pretty easy, huh? Let’s give it a quick shot with this photo.

Our result from this photo:
