Object detection 110 may perform operations to prepare data for object detection (e.g., crop, enhance, down-sample, normalize, or otherwise modify image data), in some embodiments. For example, gamma correction may be applied to enhance image data quality for face detection. Object detection 110 may implement one or more object detection techniques. For instance, a histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) determined for an image may be evaluated utilizing a trained support vector machine (SVM) to detect faces in an area of image data identified within a bounding box. Similarly, other object detection techniques may be applied.
