# FaceAPI Forked from **face-api.js** version **0.22.2** released on March 22nd, 2020 - - ## Note I don't plan to maintain a separate distribution of **face-api.js**, this is only a temporary repository to use latest available face-api with latest available tensorflow/js as original face-api.js is not compatible with **tfjs 2.0+**. If original repository is updated, this one will become obsolete. ## Differences - Removed tests, docs, examples - Updated all package dependencies - Modified to make compatible with TensorFlow/JS 2.0+ - Trivial code changes for updated TypeScript type checking - Removed unnecesary package dependencies (karma, jasmine, etc.) - Updated Typescript build process to target ES2018 instead of dual ES5/ES6 - Changed browser bundle process to use ESBuild instead of Rollup - Updated dependencies to @tensorflow/tfjs since backends were removed from @tensorflow/tfjs-core - Removed following models as they are either obsolete or non-functional with tfjs 2.0+ - mtcnn: Mostly obsolete - tinyYolov2: Non-functional since weights are missing - Updated newer version for mobileNetv1 model from Note that updated model was in TF Frozen format and needed to be converted to TFJS Graph format Which means valid models are **tinyFaceDetector** and **mobileNetv1** Due to reduced code and changed build process, resulting bundle is about **2x smaller** than the original! ## Weights Pretrained models are includes in `./weights` and uplodaed using GIT LFS support. ## Build Both `./build` and `./dist` folders are included by default, so no need for build during install. However, if you want to rebuild use: ```shell npm run build ``` Which will compile everything in `./src` into `./build` and create both standard and minified bundles as well as a sourcemap in `./dist` ## Documentation For documentation refer to original project
