Detect face then autocrop pictures
I have managed to grab bits of code from various sources and stitch this together. It is still a work in progress. Also, do you have any example images?

Update
This code should do exactly what you want. Let me know if you have questions. I tried to include lots of comments in the code:

Using the image above, this code extracts 52 out of the 59 faces, producing cropped files such as:
facedetect OpenCV CLI wrapper written in Python
https://github.com/wavexx/facedetect is a nice Python OpenCV CLI wrapper, and I have added the following example to their README.
Installation:
sudo apt install python3-opencv opencv-data imagemagick
git clone https://gitlab.com/wavexx/facedetect
git -C facedetect checkout 5f9b9121001bce20f7d87537ff506fcc90df48ca
Get my test image:
mkdir -p pictures
wget -O pictures/test.jpg https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cirosantilli/media/master/Ciro_Santilli_with_a_stone_carved_Budai_in_the_Feilai_Feng_caves_near_the_Lingyin_Temple_in_Hangzhou_in_2012.jpg
Usage:
mkdir -p faces
for file in pictures/*.jpg; do
name=$(basename "$file")
i=0
facedetect/facedetect --data-dir /usr/share/opencv4 "$file" |
while read x y w h; do
convert "$file" -crop ${w}x${h}+${x}+${y} "faces/${name%.*}_${i}.${name##*.}"
i=$(($i+1))
done
done
If you don't pass --data-dir on this system, it fails with:
facedetect: error: cannot load HAAR_FRONTALFACE_ALT2 from /usr/share/opencv/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt2.xml
and the file it is looking for is likely at: /usr/share/opencv4/haarcascades on the system.
After running it, the file:
faces/test_0.jpg
contains:
which was extracted from the original image pictures/test.jpg:
Budai was not recognized :-( If it had it would appear under faces/test_1.jpg, but that file does not exist.
Let's try another one with faces partially turned https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cirosantilli/media/master/Ciro_Santilli_with_his_mother_in_law_during_his_wedding_in_2017.jpg
Hmmm, no hits, the faces are not clear enough for the software.
Tested on Ubuntu 20.10, OpenCV 4.2.0.
Another available option is dlib, which is based on machine learning approaches.
import dlib
from PIL import Image
from skimage import io
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def detect_faces(image):
# Create a face detector
face_detector = dlib.get_frontal_face_detector()
# Run detector and get bounding boxes of the faces on image.
detected_faces = face_detector(image, 1)
face_frames = [(x.left(), x.top(),
x.right(), x.bottom()) for x in detected_faces]
return face_frames
# Load image
img_path = 'test.jpg'
image = io.imread(img_path)
# Detect faces
detected_faces = detect_faces(image)
# Crop faces and plot
for n, face_rect in enumerate(detected_faces):
face = Image.fromarray(image).crop(face_rect)
plt.subplot(1, len(detected_faces), n+1)
plt.axis('off')
plt.imshow(face)
