Quick Start

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

<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

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

Example

Example 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(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:

// 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); // 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

• Object Detection: CenterNet with MobileNet v3

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 and List of Models
