Quick Start

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

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<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/3.0.0/human.js"></script>

Code Examples

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

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
e.g. .mp4, .avi, etc.
Additional video types supported via HTML5 Media Source Extensions
e.g.: HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) using hls.js or DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) using dash.js
WebRTC media track using built-in support

Detailed Usage

TypeDefs

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

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
