Typically, an image processing application has an input image; we process the input image and we get an output processed image.

Intel Edison doesn't have a display unit. So essentially we will run the Python script on our PC first. Then after the successful working of the code in the PC, we'll modify the code to run on the Edison. Things will get clearer when we do the practical implementation.

Our target is to perform face detection and, if detected, perform some action.
