javascriptFace Detection

I have always been interested in face tagging, detection and face recognition technology in videos and pictures. Although I know that obtaining the logic and algorithms to develop facial recognition software or plug-ins is beyond my imagination. When I learned that a Javascript library could recognize smiles, eyes, and facial structures, I was inspired to write a tutorial. There are many libraries, which are either purely based on Javascript or based on the Java language.

Today, we start learning tracking.js, which is a lightweight javascript library developed by Eduardo Lundgren. It allows you to do real-time face detection, color tracking and tagging friends' faces. In this tutorial we will see how we can detect faces, eyes and mouths from static images.
At the end of the tutorial, you can see a tutorial that provides a working example with tips and tricks as well as more technical details.

First, we need to create a project, download the project from github and extract the build folder, and place the build folder according to your file and directory structure. In this tutorial, I used the following file and directory structure.

Folder structure

Project Folder
│
│  index.html
│
├───assets
│    face.jpg
│
└───js
  │  tracking-min.js
  │  tracking.js
  │
  └───data
      eye-min.js
      eye.js
      face-min.js
      face.js
      mouth-min.js
      mouth.js

You can see that the js folder contains the javascript files we extracted from tracking.js. Below is the html code of index.html.

HTML code

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
 <meta charset="utf-8">
 <title>@tuts Face Detection Tutorial</title>
 
 <script src="js/tracking-min.js"></script>
 <script src="js/data/face-min.js"></script>
 <script src="js/data/eye-min.js"></script>
 <script src="js/data/mouth-min.js"></script>
 
 <style>
 .rect {
  border: 2px solid #a64ceb;
  left: -1000px;
  position: absolute;
  top: -1000px;
 }
 
 #img {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  margin: -173px 0 0 -300px;
 }
 </style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="imgContainer">
 <img  src="/static/imghwm/default1.png"  data-src="assets/face.jpg"  class="lazy"  id="img" / alt="Face detection using JavaScript_javascript skills" >
</div>
 
</body>
</html>

In the above HTML code, we introduce 4 javascript files from tracking.js, which help us detect faces, eyes and mouths from images. Now we write a piece of code to detect faces, eyes and mouths from static images. I chose this image intentionally because it contains several faces with different expressions and poses.

In order to achieve the goal, we need to modify the code in the header of the html file.

HTML code

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
 <meta charset="utf-8">
 <title>@tuts Face Detection Tutorial</title>
 
 <script src="js/tracking-min.js"></script>
 <script src="js/data/face-min.js"></script>
 <script src="js/data/eye-min.js"></script>
 <script src="js/data/mouth-min.js"></script>
 
 <style>
 .rect {
  border: 2px solid #a64ceb;
  left: -1000px;
  position: absolute;
  top: -1000px;
 }
 
 #img {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  margin: -173px 0 0 -300px;
 }
 </style>
// tracking code.
<script>
  window.onload = function() {
   var img = document.getElementById('img');
 
   var tracker = new tracking.ObjectTracker(['face', 'eye', 'mouth']); // Based on parameter it will return an array.
   tracker.setStepSize(1.7);
 
   tracking.track('#img', tracker);
 
   tracker.on('track', function(event) {
    event.data.forEach(function(rect) {
     draw(rect.x, rect.y, rect.width, rect.height);
    });
   });
 
   function draw(x, y, w, h) {
    var rect = document.createElement('div');
    document.querySelector('.imgContainer').appendChild(rect);
    rect.classList.add('rect');
    rect.style.width = w + 'px';
    rect.style.height = h + 'px';
    rect.style.left = (img.offsetLeft + x) + 'px';
    rect.style.top = (img.offsetTop + y) + 'px';
   };
  };
 </script>
 
</head>
<body>
<div class="imgContainer">
 <img  src="/static/imghwm/default1.png"  data-src="assets/face.jpg"  class="lazy"  id="img" / alt="Face detection using JavaScript_javascript skills" >
</div>
 
</body>
</html>

Results

Code description.
The tracking.ObjectTracker() method classifies the objects you want to track, and it can accept an array as a parameter.
setStepSize() The step size of the specified block.
We bind the object to be tracked to the "track" event. Once the object is tracked, the tracking event will be triggered by the object being tracked soon.
We get the data in the form of an object array, which contains the width, height, x and y coordinates of each object (face, mouth and eyes);
Summary of results.
You may find that the results will vary depending on the shape conditions, and there are areas for improvement and improvement, and we acknowledge and truly agree with the development of this type of API.
Running example:

We plan to do a tutorial for face tracking and image labeling of HTML5 Canvas and camera videos. You may use the client-side camera access blog I mentioned above, which can help you access the user's camera in a way you know.
Note: Due to browser security reasons, this program needs to be run on the same domain or in a browser with web security disabled.

Understanding the JavaScript Engine: Implementation DetailsApr 17, 2025 am 12:05 AM

Understanding how JavaScript engine works internally is important to developers because it helps write more efficient code and understand performance bottlenecks and optimization strategies. 1) The engine's workflow includes three stages: parsing, compiling and execution; 2) During the execution process, the engine will perform dynamic optimization, such as inline cache and hidden classes; 3) Best practices include avoiding global variables, optimizing loops, using const and lets, and avoiding excessive use of closures.

Python vs. JavaScript: The Learning Curve and Ease of UseApr 16, 2025 am 12:12 AM

Python is more suitable for beginners, with a smooth learning curve and concise syntax; JavaScript is suitable for front-end development, with a steep learning curve and flexible syntax. 1. Python syntax is intuitive and suitable for data science and back-end development. 2. JavaScript is flexible and widely used in front-end and server-side programming.

Python vs. JavaScript: Community, Libraries, and ResourcesApr 15, 2025 am 12:16 AM

Python and JavaScript have their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of community, libraries and resources. 1) The Python community is friendly and suitable for beginners, but the front-end development resources are not as rich as JavaScript. 2) Python is powerful in data science and machine learning libraries, while JavaScript is better in front-end development libraries and frameworks. 3) Both have rich learning resources, but Python is suitable for starting with official documents, while JavaScript is better with MDNWebDocs. The choice should be based on project needs and personal interests.

From C/C to JavaScript: How It All WorksApr 14, 2025 am 12:05 AM

The shift from C/C to JavaScript requires adapting to dynamic typing, garbage collection and asynchronous programming. 1) C/C is a statically typed language that requires manual memory management, while JavaScript is dynamically typed and garbage collection is automatically processed. 2) C/C needs to be compiled into machine code, while JavaScript is an interpreted language. 3) JavaScript introduces concepts such as closures, prototype chains and Promise, which enhances flexibility and asynchronous programming capabilities.

JavaScript Engines: Comparing ImplementationsApr 13, 2025 am 12:05 AM

Different JavaScript engines have different effects when parsing and executing JavaScript code, because the implementation principles and optimization strategies of each engine differ. 1. Lexical analysis: convert source code into lexical unit. 2. Grammar analysis: Generate an abstract syntax tree. 3. Optimization and compilation: Generate machine code through the JIT compiler. 4. Execute: Run the machine code. V8 engine optimizes through instant compilation and hidden class, SpiderMonkey uses a type inference system, resulting in different performance performance on the same code.

Beyond the Browser: JavaScript in the Real WorldApr 12, 2025 am 12:06 AM

JavaScript's applications in the real world include server-side programming, mobile application development and Internet of Things control: 1. Server-side programming is realized through Node.js, suitable for high concurrent request processing. 2. Mobile application development is carried out through ReactNative and supports cross-platform deployment. 3. Used for IoT device control through Johnny-Five library, suitable for hardware interaction.

mPDF

mPDF is a PHP library that can generate PDF files from UTF-8 encoded HTML. The original author, Ian Back, wrote mPDF to output PDF files "on the fly" from his website and handle different languages. It is slower than original scripts like HTML2FPDF and produces larger files when using Unicode fonts, but supports CSS styles etc. and has a lot of enhancements. Supports almost all languages, including RTL (Arabic and Hebrew) and CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean). Supports nested block-level elements (such as P, DIV),
