## Quick Start
Simply load `Human` (*IIFE version*) directly from a cloud CDN in your HTML file:
(pick one: `jsdelirv`, `unpkg` or `cdnjs`)
```html
```
For details, including how to use `Browser ESM` version or `NodeJS` version of `Human`, see [**Installation**](https://github.com/vladmandic/human/wiki/Install)
## 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);
function detectVideo() {
// select input HTMLVideoElement and output HTMLCanvasElement from page
const inputVideo = document.getElementById('video-id');
const outputCanvas = document.getElementById('canvas-id');
// 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);
async function detectVideo() {
const inputVideo = document.getElementById('video-id');
const outputCanvas = document.getElementById('canvas-id');
const result = await human.detect(inputVideo);
human.draw.all(outputCanvas, result);
requestAnimationFrame(detectVideo);
}
detectVideo();
```
## Default models
Default models in Human library are:
- **Face Detection**: MediaPipe BlazeFace-Back
- **Face Mesh**: MediaPipe FaceMesh
- **Face Description**: HSE FaceRes
- **Face Iris Analysis**: MediaPipe Iris
- **Emotion Detection**: Oarriaga Emotion
- **Body Analysis**: PoseNet
Note that alternative models are provided and can be enabled via configuration
For example, `PoseNet` model can be switched for `BlazePose` 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)
`Human` library is written in `TypeScript` [4.2](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/intro.html)
Conforming to `JavaScript` [ECMAScript version 2020](https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/11.0/index.html) standard
Build target is `JavaScript` **EMCAScript version 2018**
