Transformers.js

What is Transformers.js ?

Transformers.js is a lightweight JavaScript library designed for object detection in images. It allows developers to integrate powerful computer vision capabilities into web applications with minimal setup. Built on top of popular deep learning frameworks, Transformers.js leverages models like YOLO (You Only Look Once) to deliver accurate and efficient object detection.

Features

• Real-time object detection: Identify objects in images or video streams with high accuracy.
• Multiple model support: Works with various object detection models, including YOLO, SSD MobileNet, and more.
• Seamless integration: Easily integrates with TensorFlow.js and other popular deep learning libraries.
• Lightweight: Optimized for web applications, ensuring fast performance without compromising accuracy.
• Simple API: User-friendly interface for loading models, processing images, and retrieving detection results.
• Cross-browser compatibility: Works across modern web browsers, enabling consistent performance.

How to use Transformers.js ?

1. Install Transformers.js: Run npm install transformers.js to add the library to your project.
2. Import the library: Include the library in your JavaScript file using import {Transformers} from 'transformers.js'.
3. Initialize the detector: Load a pre-trained model using const detector = new Transformers.Detector('yolo').
4. Detect objects: Pass an image or video element to the detector and get results:

   const image = document.getElementById('image');
   const results = await detector.detect(image);
   

   The results object will contain an array of detected objects with their bounding boxes and confidence scores.
