Are you trying to do automatic face swap like in that video? Or do you just want to detect the faces in the images and simply put on of them over the other?

See my demo attached below in blue. You'd need to adapt it to the shapes of the faces - I didn't do that in this general purpose demo (it's not developed with faces in mind).

Thank you very much I appreciate it very much. It worked very well and i was able to figure out how to operate it. The only question I have is if i wanted to read in my own image how can do that, and where would i place the file name?

These are the lines that you change:
% Read in a standard MATLAB gray scale demo image.
folder = fullfile(matlabroot, '\toolbox\images\imdemos');
baseFileName = 'eight.tif';
% Get the full filename, with path prepended.
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);
You can also use uigetfile() if you want to have the user browse for the file.
% Get the name of the file that the user wants to use.
defaultFileName = fullfile(startingFolder, '*.*');
[baseFileName, folder] = uigetfile(defaultFileName, 'Select a file');
if baseFileName == 0
% User clicked the Cancel button.
return;
end
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName)
