What does HackerNews think of face-api.js?
JavaScript API for face detection and face recognition in the browser and nodejs with tensorflow.js
Language:
TypeScript
For those looking to not only detect, but also vectorize faces (for later comparison against other faces) -- face recognition, try out: face-api.js
For the record - the author considered these two libraries for face detection: https://github.com/vladmandic/human & https://github.com/justadudewhohacks/face-api.js, he chose "vladmandic/human".
You make reference to a "weights" folder, but I'm not seeing it in the repo - am I looking in the wrong place?
EDIT: My mistake, you said it was in the library repo and there it was. For anyone who needs it - https://github.com/justadudewhohacks/face-api.js
A lot of the good stuff seems to be coming from:
https://github.com/justadudewhohacks/face-api.js
Results are poor, as expected. I think the author intends it as a joke.
But the message is spot on.
