Real-time Face Mesh Detection and Drawing with React and TensorFlow.js

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.

Overview

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.

How it Works

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.

Features

  • 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.

Getting Started

To get started with the project, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
  2. Install the necessary dependencies by running npm install.
  3. Start the development server by running npm start.
  4. Open your browser and navigate to the provided URL to view the application.
  5. Grant permission to access your webcam if prompted.
  6. Witness the magic of real-time face mesh detection and drawing!

Technologies Used

  • 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.

Acknowledgements

  • Special thanks to the TensorFlow.js team for providing the FaceMesh model and making real-time face detection accessible in the browser.
