Pitch
In facial identification, an intrinsic rotation of the head about a horizontal left-to-right (lateral) axis measured in degrees. DISCUSSIONFrontal poses have a pitch angle of 0. Positive angles represent faces looking down (a counter-clockwise rotation around the axis). The pitch axis is typically defined as the X-axis (positive to the right).
