This is a scene from the Next Generation episode Journey’s End.  The first run is simply the result with Wesley Crusher blacked out.  The second part displays the faces that are recognized.  There are occasional blips (Data gets blacked out in several frames, Wesley’s ear gets “recognized” a few times), but overall, not too shabby for something thrown together in a few days with no virtually no tuning of the system being done.  The reason he’s not blacked out at the end is likely due to the decision to expand the minimum face size to 50×50.  If the face size were smaller, it likely would have detected and blocked that part, as well.
