Raw Blame History

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+
- ssdMobilenetv1: Relies on batchNorm() function which is made obsolete in tfjs 2.0
- mtcnn: Mostly obsolete
- tinyYolov2: Non-functional since weights are missing

Which means the only valid model is tinyFaceDetector

Due to reduced code and changed build process, resulting bundle is about 2.5x smaller than the original!

Build

Both ./build and ./dist folders are included by default, so no need for build during install. However, if you want to rebuild use:

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
