  Finding faces in images is one of the most important tasks in computer
vision, with applications in biometrics, surveillance, human-computer
interaction, and other areas. In our earlier work, we demonstrated that it is
possible to tell whether or not an image contains a face by only examining the
HEVC syntax, without fully reconstructing the image. In the present work we
move further in this direction by showing how to localize faces in HEVC-coded
images, without full reconstruction. We also demonstrate the benefits that such
approach can have in privacy-friendly face localization.
