# personSegmentation()

Creates a mask where red pixels indicate areas of the image that are likely to contain a person.

## Declaration

```swift
class func personSegmentation() -> any CIFilter & CIPersonSegmentation
```

## Return Value

Return Value A CIImage containing the mask.

## Discussion

Discussion The person-segmentation filter creates a mask that contains red pixels in the areas of the input image that are likely to contain people. The person-segmentation filter takes the following properties: The following code applies the person-segmentation filter to an image: func personSegmentation(inputImage: CIImage) -> CIImage {     let personSegmentationFilter = CIFilter.personSegmentation()     personSegmentationFilter.inputImage = inputImage     personSegmentationFilter.qualityLevel = 0     return personSegmentationFilter.outputImage! }
