Transformers.js

What is Transformers.js ?

Transformers.js is a JavaScript library designed to detect objects in images. Built on top of the powerful Transformers model architecture, it enables developers to integrate object detection capabilities into web applications seamlessly. While primarily known for natural language processing, Transformers.js brings this technology to the realm of computer vision, allowing for accurate and efficient image analysis.

Features

• Object Detection: Identify and locate objects within images using state-of-the-art models.
• Easy Integration: Simple API for developers to embed object detection functionality into web apps.
• Pre-trained Models: Leverage pre-trained Transformer-based models optimized for vision tasks.
• Cross-Functionality: Compatible with both vision and language tasks, offering versatile applications.

How to use Transformers.js ?

1. Include the Library: Add the Transformers.js script to your HTML file.

   <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tensorflow/tfjs@latest"></script>
   

2. Create an Instance: Initialize the object detection model.

   const detector = new TransformersDetector();
   

3. Load the Model: Load a pre-trained model for object detection.

   await detector.loadModel('coco-ssd');
   

4. Process an Image: Pass an image element or URL to the detector.

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

5. Display Results: Use the detection results to overlay bounding boxes and class labels on the image.
