Transformers.js

What is Transformers.js ?

Transformers.js is a JavaScript library designed for detecting objects in images. It leverages transformer-based models to enable accurate and efficient object detection within web applications. Built for seamless integration with modern web technologies, Transformers.js allows developers to easily incorporate object detection capabilities into their projects.

Features

• Real-time object detection: Quickly identify objects within images using pre-trained models. • Support for multiple models: Choose from a variety of transformer-based architectures for optimal performance. • Web-friendly integration: Works effortlessly with HTML5 Canvas, SVG, and other web technologies. • Customizable detection: Adjust settings like confidence thresholds and model sizes to suit your needs. • Lightweight and efficient: Optimized for performance without compromising accuracy. • Hardware acceleration: Leverages WebGL for faster processing where supported.

How to use Transformers.js ?

1. Install Transformers.js: Use npm to add the library to your project.

   npm install transformers.js
   

2. Import the library: Include it in your JavaScript file.

   import Transformers from 'transformers.js';
   

3. Initialize the detector: Create a new instance with a specific model.

   const detector = new Transformers.Detector('model-name');
   

4. Load the model: Wait for the model to load before processing images.

   await detector.load();
   

5. Detect objects: Pass an image element or canvas to the detector.

   const results = await detector.detect(imageElement);
   

6. Process results: Use the returned object data (e.g., bounding boxes, labels) as needed.
