Welcome to the Real-time Face Mesh Detection and Drawing project! This project utilizes the power of React, TensorFlow.js, and FaceMesh to detect faces in real-time through your webcam and draw a mesh overlay on top of them.
In today's digital age, real-time face detection and manipulation have become increasingly popular for various applications, ranging from virtual try-on experiences to augmented reality filters. This project explores the capabilities of modern web technologies to achieve real-time face mesh detection and drawing directly in the browser.
Using React as our frontend framework and TensorFlow.js as our machine learning library, we create a seamless web application that interacts with the user's webcam. Leveraging the FaceMesh model provided by TensorFlow.js, we detect facial landmarks and draw a mesh overlay on top of the detected face in real-time.
- Real-time Face Detection: Utilize your webcam to detect faces in real-time directly within your browser.
- Face Mesh Drawing: Once a face is detected, the application draws a mesh overlay on top of the face, highlighting facial landmarks.
- Interactive Interface: The user-friendly interface allows for easy interaction and exploration of the face mesh detection capabilities.
To get started with the project, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository to your local machine.
- Install the necessary dependencies by running
npm install
. - Start the development server by running
npm start
. - Open your browser and navigate to the provided URL to view the application.
- Grant permission to access your webcam if prompted.
- Witness the magic of real-time face mesh detection and drawing!
- React: A popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
- TensorFlow.js: A JavaScript library for training and deploying machine learning models in the browser and on Node.js.
- FaceMesh: A pre-trained machine learning model provided by TensorFlow.js for detecting facial landmarks.
- Special thanks to the TensorFlow.js team for providing the FaceMesh model and making real-time face detection accessible in the browser.
