# FaceAPI
|
|
|
|
## Note
|
|
|
|
This is updated **face-api.js** 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.
|
|
|
|
Forked from **face-api.js** version **0.22.2** released on March 22nd, 2020
|
|
|
|
- <https://github.com/justadudewhohacks/face-api.js>
|
|
- <https://www.npmjs.com/package/face-api.js>
|
|
|
|
## 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 TensorFlow/JS dependencies since backends were removed from @tensorflow/tfjs-core
|
|
- Updated mobileNetv1 model due to batchNorm() dependency
|
|
- 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
|
|
|
|
Which means valid models are **tinyFaceDetector** and **mobileNetv1**
|
|
Due to reduced code and changed build process, resulting bundle is about **>5x smaller** than the original!
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
**Imporant!**: This version of **face-api** does not embedd full version of **TensorFlow/JS (tfjs)** to keep package as small as possible (322KB minified), enable dynamic loading of different tfjs backends as well as to enable reusability of tfjs for different purposes.
|
|
|
|
*Load tfjs explicitly before loading face-api.*
|
|
*Note: package `@tensorflow/tfjs` is bundle, if you want to keep your project small, import `@tensorflow/tfjs-core` plus a specific backend such as `@tensorflow/tfjs-backend-cpu`, `@tensorflow/tfjs-backend-webgl` or `@tensorflow/tfjs-node`*
|
|
|
|
For example as a script:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/tensorflow/2.3.0/tf.es2017.js"></script>
|
|
<script src="/dist/face-api.js"></script> <!-- full version / 960KB -->
|
|
or
|
|
<script src="/dist/face-api.min.js"></script> <!-- minified version / 320KB -->
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or install a module:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install @tensorflow/tfjs @vladmandic/face-api
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use module using `require` (recommended for VanillaJS):
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const tf = require('@tensorflow/tfjs');
|
|
const faceapi = require('@vladmandic/face-api');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use module in a JavaScript project using `import`:
|
|
(NodeJS requires `"type": "module"` inside `package.json` to support `import` statements)
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import tf from '@tensorflow/tfjs';
|
|
import faceapi from '@vladmandic/face-api';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use module in a TypeScript project:
|
|
(TSC will compile this to `require` statements)
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import * as tf from '@tensorflow/tfjs';
|
|
import * as faceapi from '@vladmandic/face-api';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Weights
|
|
|
|
Pretrained models and their weights are includes in `./model`.
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
Included in `./dist` are:
|
|
|
|
- face-api.cjs: CJS format, used by NodeJS import/require (default for node and browser require/import)
|
|
- face-api.ejs: ESM format, used by Browser (provided as an alternative)
|
|
- face-api.js: IIFE format, used by Browser (default for browser script)
|
|
- face-api.min.js: Minified IIFE format, used by Browser
|
|
|
|
If you want to do a full 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`
|

## Example
|
|
|
|
Single new example that uses both models as well as all of the extensions is included in `/example/index.html`
