1. **Face Similarity Matching:**  
Extracts all faces from provided input images,  
sorts them by similarity to selected face  
and optionally matches detected face with database of known people to guess their names

## Quick Start

Simply load `Human` (*IIFE version*) directly from a cloud CDN in your HTML file:  
(pick one: `jsdelirv`, `unpkg` or `cdnjs`)

```html
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@vladmandic/human/dist/human.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.dev/@vladmandic/human/dist/human.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/human/2.1.5/human.js"></script>
```

For details, including how to use `Browser ESM` version or `NodeJS` version of `Human`, see [**Installation**](https://github.com/vladmandic/human/wiki/Install)

<br>

## Inputs

`Human` library can process all known input types:  

- `Image`, `ImageData`, `ImageBitmap`, `Canvas`, `OffscreenCanvas`, `Tensor`,  
- `HTMLImageElement`, `HTMLCanvasElement`, `HTMLVideoElement`, `HTMLMediaElement`

Additionally, `HTMLVideoElement`, `HTMLMediaElement` can be a standard `<video>` tag that links to:

- WebCam on user's system
- Any supported video type  
  For example: `.mp4`, `.avi`, etc.
- Additional video types supported via *HTML5 Media Source Extensions*  
  Live streaming examples:
  - **HLS** (*HTTP Live Streaming*) using `hls.js`
  - **DASH** (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) using `dash.js`
- **WebRTC** media track using built-in support  

<br>

## Example

Example simple app that uses Human to process video input and  
draw output on screen using internal draw helper functions

```js
// create instance of human with simple configuration using default values
const config = { backend: 'webgl' };
const human = new Human(config);
// select input HTMLVideoElement and output HTMLCanvasElement from page
const inputVideo = document.getElementById('video-id');
const outputCanvas = document.getElementById('canvas-id');

function detectVideo() {
  // perform processing using default configuration
  human.detect(inputVideo).then((result) => {
    // result object will contain detected details
    // as well as the processed canvas itself
    // so lets first draw processed frame on canvas
    human.draw.canvas(result.canvas, outputCanvas);
    // then draw results on the same canvas
    human.draw.face(outputCanvas, result.face);
    human.draw.body(outputCanvas, result.body);
    human.draw.hand(outputCanvas, result.hand);
    human.draw.gesture(outputCanvas, result.gesture);
    // and loop immediate to the next frame
    requestAnimationFrame(detectVideo);
  });
}

detectVideo();
```

or using `async/await`:

```js
// create instance of human with simple configuration using default values
const config = { backend: 'webgl' };
const human = new Human(config); // create instance of Human
const inputVideo = document.getElementById('video-id');
const outputCanvas = document.getElementById('canvas-id');

async function detectVideo() {
  const result = await human.detect(inputVideo); // run detection
  human.draw.all(outputCanvas, result); // draw all results
  requestAnimationFrame(detectVideo); // run loop
}

detectVideo(); // start loop
```

or using `Events`:

```js
// create instance of human with simple configuration using default values
const config = { backend: 'webgl' };
const human = new Human(config); // create instance of Human
const inputVideo = document.getElementById('video-id');
const outputCanvas = document.getElementById('canvas-id');

human.events.addEventListener('detect', () => { // event gets triggered when detect is complete
  human.draw.all(outputCanvas, human.result); // draw all results
});

function detectVideo() {
  human.detect(inputVideo) // run detection
  .then(() => requestAnimationFrame(detectVideo)); // upon detect complete start processing of the next frame
}

detectVideo(); // start loop
```

or using interpolated results for smooth video processing by separating detection and drawing loops:

```js
const human = new Human(); // create instance of Human
const inputVideo = document.getElementById('video-id');
const outputCanvas = document.getElementById('canvas-id');
let result;

async function detectVideo() {
  result = await human.detect(inputVideo); // run detection
  requestAnimationFrame(detectVideo); // run detect loop
}

async function drawVideo() {
  if (result) { // check if result is available
    const interpolated = human.next(result); // calculate next interpolated frame
    human.draw.all(outputCanvas, interpolated); // draw the frame
  }
  requestAnimationFrame(drawVideo); // run draw loop
}

detectVideo(); // start detection loop
drawVideo(); // start draw loop
```

And for even better results, you can run detection in a separate web worker thread

## Default models

Default models in Human library are:

- **Face Detection**: MediaPipe BlazeFace - Back variation
- **Face Mesh**: MediaPipe FaceMesh
- **Face Iris Analysis**: MediaPipe Iris
- **Face Description**: HSE FaceRes
- **Emotion Detection**: Oarriaga Emotion
- **Body Analysis**: MoveNet - Lightning variation
- **Hand Analysis**: MediaPipe Hands
- **Body Segmentation**: Google Selfie
- **Object Detection**: MB3 CenterNet
- **Body Segmentation**: Google Selfie

Note that alternative models are provided and can be enabled via configuration  
For example, `PoseNet` model can be switched for `BlazePose`, `EfficientPose` or `MoveNet` model depending on the use case  

For more info, see [**Configuration Details**](https://github.com/vladmandic/human/wiki/Configuration) and [**List of Models**](https://github.com/vladmandic/human/wiki/Models)
