Face Detection CAPTCHA

Sample ImageFace Detection CAPTCHA was our first image-based CAPTCHA.

In this CAPTCHA, black-and-white photographs of human faces, animal faces, and cartoon characters are visually distorted using a single image distortion. The distorted images are then embedded in a background of large multi-shaded blocks.

To solve this CAPTCHA, users must tap or click on all the human face photographs.
