We already saw a lot of Computer Vision JavaScript libraries, but there are many of them which we did not discuss in the book. Some of those libraries are focused on face and face particle detection, others are a bit more general and implement several object detection techniques.
Face detection is probably the most popular task in web applications. One of the original libraries, which provide face detection is the CCV library (https://github.com/liuliu/ccv). The main part of the library consists of C functions, but there are JavaScript parts that are responsible for the face detection. There are a lot of libraries which base their face detection on it, for example:
http://facedetection.jaysalvat.com: This is the jQuery library with an easy-to-follow installation guide and API.
https://github.com/wesbos/HTML5-Face-Detection: This library is very easy to use; it detects a face using only the
App.start()
command.
