FaceAPI

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

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
• 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 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:

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
