I want to touch face detection information from plugin scripts

My Library already have people informations on collections,captions & keywords.

But transferring these informations to face detection, That's hard operations by UI slowness.

If already built face detection infos on Library,It makes easier to determine new & unknown shots.

Adobe product developers don't participate in this forum and won't see your request.  They want all feature requests and bug reports posted in the official Adobe feedback forum: Lightroom Classic CC | Photoshop Family Customer Community

With some amount of work, plugins can access the face-detection info (the rectangles around the faces and the names tagging the rectangles).  Make sure the option Catalog Settings > Metadata > Automatically Write Changes Into XMP is turned on.  Then the plugin can run the ExifTool utility to extract the full XMP metadata from a photo and read it using the LrXml module.
