Simple app that uses Human to process video input and
draw output on screen using internal draw helper functions
// create instance of human with simple configuration using default values
const config = { backend: 'webgl' };
const human = new Human.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);
return result;
});
}
detectVideo();
or using async/await
:
// 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
:
// 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:
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); // get smoothened result using last-known results
human.draw.all(outputCanvas, interpolated); // draw the frame
}
requestAnimationFrame(drawVideo); // run draw loop
}
detectVideo(); // start detection loop
drawVideo(); // start draw loop
or same, but using built-in full video processing instead of running manual frame-by-frame loop:
const human = new Human(); // create instance of Human
const inputVideo = document.getElementById('video-id');
const outputCanvas = document.getElementById('canvas-id');
async function drawResults() {
const interpolated = human.next(); // get smoothened result using last-known results
human.draw.all(outputCanvas, interpolated); // draw the frame
requestAnimationFrame(drawResults); // run draw loop
}
human.video(inputVideo); // start detection loop which continously updates results
drawResults(); // start draw loop
or using built-in webcam helper methods that take care of video handling completely:
const human = new Human(); // create instance of Human
const outputCanvas = document.getElementById('canvas-id');
async function drawResults() {
const interpolated = human.next(); // get smoothened result using last-known results
human.draw.canvas(outputCanvas, human.webcam.element); // draw current webcam frame
human.draw.all(outputCanvas, interpolated); // draw the frame detectgion results
requestAnimationFrame(drawResults); // run draw loop
}
await human.webcam.start({ crop: true });
human.video(human.webcam.element); // start detection loop which continously updates results
drawResults(); // start draw loop
And for even better results, you can run detection in a separate web worker thread
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
e.g..mp4
,.avi
, etc. - Additional video types supported via HTML5 Media Source Extensions
e.g.: HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) usinghls.js
or DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) usingdash.js
- WebRTC media track using built-in support
Human
is written using TypeScript strong typing and ships with full TypeDefs for all classes defined by the library bundled in types/human.d.ts
and enabled by default
Note: This does not include embedded tfjs
If you want to use embedded tfjs
inside Human
(human.tf
namespace) and still full typedefs, add this code:
import type * as tfjs from '@vladmandic/human/dist/tfjs.esm';
const tf = human.tf as typeof tfjs;
This is not enabled by default as Human
does not ship with full TFJS TypeDefs due to size considerations
Enabling tfjs
TypeDefs as above creates additional project (dev-only as only types are required) dependencies as defined in @vladmandic/human/dist/tfjs.esm.d.ts
:
@tensorflow/tfjs-core, @tensorflow/tfjs-converter, @tensorflow/tfjs-backend-wasm, @tensorflow/tfjs-backend-webgl
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: HandTrack & MediaPipe HandLandmarks
- Body Segmentation: Google Selfie
- Object Detection: CenterNet with MobileNet v3
Note that alternative models are provided and can be enabled via configuration
For example, body pose detection by default uses MoveNet Lightning, but can be switched to MultiNet Thunder for higher precision or Multinet MultiPose for multi-person detection or even PoseNet, BlazePose or EfficientPose depending on the use case
For more info, see Configuration Details and List of Models
Human
library is written in TypeScript 5.1 using TensorFlow/JS 4.10 and conforming to latest JavaScript
ECMAScript version 2022 standard
Build target for distributables is JavaScript
EMCAScript version 2018
