CompreFace JavaScript SDK

CompreFace JavaScript SDK makes face recognition into your application even easier.

Table of content

Requirements

Before using our SDK make sure you have installed CompreFace and Nodejs on your machine.

  1. CompreFace (See below compatibility matrix)
  2. Nodejs (Version 10+)

CompreFace compatibility matrix

CompreFace JS SDK version CompreFace 0.4.x CompreFace 0.5.x CompreFace 0.6.x
0.4.1
0.5.x 🟡
0.6.x 🟡

Explanation:

  • SDK supports all functionality from CompreFace.
  • 🟡 SDK works with this CompreFace version. In case if CompreFace version is newer - SDK won't support new features of CompreFace. In case if CompreFace version is older - new SDK features will fail.
  • ✘ There are major backward compatibility issues. It is not recommended to use these versions together

Installation

To add CompreFace JS SDK to your project, run the following command in the project folder:

npm i @exadel/compreface-js-sdk

Usage

Initialization

To start using JavaScript SDK you need to import CompreFace object from 'compreface-js-sdk' dependency.

Then you need to init it with url and port. By default, if you run CompreFace on your local machine, it's http://localhost and 8000 respectively. You can pass optional options object when creating CompreFace to set default parameters, see reference for more information.

After you initialized CompreFace object you need to init the service object with the api key of your face service. You can use this service object to recognize faces.

However, before recognizing you need first to add faces into the face collection. To do this, get the face collection object from the service object.

import { CompreFace } from 'compreface-js-sdk';

let api_key = "your_key";
let url = "http://localhost";
let port = 8000;

let compreFace = new CompreFace(url, port); // set CompreFace url and port 
let recognitionService = compreFace.initFaceRecognitionService(api_key); // initialize service
let faceCollection = recognitionService.getFaceCollection(); // use face collection to fill it with known faces
let subjects = recognitionService.getSubjects(); // use subjects object to work with subjects directely

Adding faces into a face collection

Here is JavaScript code example that shows how to add an image to your face collection from your file system:

let path_to_image = "../images/boy.jpg";
let name = encodeURIComponent('Tom');

faceCollection.add(path_to_image, name)
    .then(response => {
        // your code
    })
    .catch(error => {
        console.log(`Oops! There is problem in uploading image ${error}`)
    })

Recognition

This code snippet shows how to recognize unknown face:

let path_to_image = "../images/team.jpg";

recognitionService.recognize(path_to_image)
    .then(response => {
        console.log(JSON.stringify(response));
    })
    .catch(error => {
        console.log(`Oops! There is problem with recognizing image ${error}`)
    })

Environments

NOTE: We provide 3 ways of uploading image to our SDK. They are url, blob and relative path (from local machine).

Enviroments from URL with Blob format from local machine

Reference

CompreFace Global Object

Global CompreFace Object is used for initializing connection to CompreFace and setting default values for options. Default values will be used in every service method if applicable. If the option’s value is set in the global object and passed as a function argument then the function argument value will be used.

Constructor:

new CompreFace(server, port, options)

Argument Type Required Notes
url string required URL with protocol where CompreFace is located. E.g. http://localhost
port string required CompreFace port. E.g. 8000
options object optional Default values for face recognition services

Possible options:

Option Type Notes
det_prob_threshold string minimum required confidence that a recognized face is actually a face. Value is between 0.0 and 1.0
limit integer maximum number of faces on the image to be recognized. It recognizes the biggest faces first. Value of 0 represents no limit. Default value: 0
prediction_count integer maximum number of subject predictions per face. It returns the most similar subjects. Default value: 1
face_plugins string comma-separated slugs of face plugins. If empty, no additional information is returned. Learn more
status boolean if true includes system information like execution_time and plugin_version fields. Default value is false

Example:

let server = "http://localhost";
let port = 8000;
let options = {
  limit: 0, 
  det_prob_threshold: 0.8, 
  prediction_count: 1,
  face_plugins: "calculator,age,gender,landmarks",
  status: "true"
}

let compreFace = new CompreFace(server, port, options);

Methods

  1. compreFace.initFaceRecognitionService(api_key)

Inits face recognition service object.

Argument Type Required Notes
api_key string required Face Recognition Api Key in UUID format

Example:

let recognitionService = compreFace.initFaceRecognitionService(api_key);
  1. compreFace.initFaceDetectionService(api_key)

Inits face detection service object.

Argument Type Required Notes
api_key string required Face Detection Api Key in UUID format

Example:

let detectionService = compreFace.initFaceDetectionService(api_key);

Argument Type Required Notes
api_key string required Face Verification Api Key in UUID format

Example:

let verificationService = compreFace.initFaceVerificationService(api_key);

Recognition Service

Face recognition service is used for face identification. This means that you first need to upload known faces to face collection and then recognize unknown faces among them. When you upload an unknown face, the service returns the most similar faces to it. Also, face recognition service supports verify endpoint to check if this person from face collection is the correct one. For more information, see CompreFace page.

    face_plugins: "calculator,age,gender,landmarks",
    status: "true"
}

verificationService.verify(source_image_location, target_image_location, options)
    .then(response => {
        console.log(JSON.stringify(response));
    })
