What is Transformers.js ?

Transformers.js is a JavaScript library designed to detect objects in images with ease. It leverages cutting-edge AI models to enable accurate and efficient object detection directly in web applications. Built with modern JavaScript standards, Transformers.js provides a seamless integration experience for developers looking to incorporate object detection capabilities into their projects.

Features

• Browser Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly across modern web browsers
• Support for Multiple Models: Easily integrate popular object detection models like YOLO, SSD, and more
• Real-Time Detection: Process images and videos in real-time for immediate results
• Asynchronous Processing: Non-blocking API calls for smooth user experiences
• Customizable Thresholds: Adjust detection sensitivity and confidence levels
• Lightweight Footprint: Optimized for performance without compromising on accuracy

How to use Transformers.js ?

1. Include the Library: Add Transformers.js to your project using npm or a CDN

   npm install transformers.js
   

   or include the script tag:

   <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/transformers.js@latest/dist/transformers.min.js"></script>
   

2. Initialize the Detector: Create an instance of the object detector

   const detector = new Transformers.ImageDetector();
   

3. Load the Image/Video: Pass the image or video element to the detector

   const image = document.getElementById('image');
   detector.process(image);
   

4. Process and Get Results: Use the detector to analyze the media and retrieve detections

   detector.process(image).then(results => {
     console.log(results); // Array of detected objects with bounding boxes and labels
   });
   

Frequently Asked Questions

What models are supported by Transformers.js?
Transformers.js supports popular object detection models such as YOLO (You Only Look Once), SSD (Single Shot MultiBox Detector), and others. Support for additional models is continuously being added.

Can I use Transformers.js in older browsers?
Transformers.js is built with modern JavaScript features and may not work in very old browsers. For compatibility with older browsers, you may need to use a transpiler or ensure Babel polyfills are included.

How accurate is Transformers.js for object detection?
The accuracy depends on the underlying model used. Transformers.js integrates state-of-the-art models, ensuring high accuracy for most use cases. You can fine-tune models or adjust detection thresholds for better results.
