How to use FaceAI Web SDK?

  • Download the SDK and extra the archive. You will find the following .js file.
    • EnxFaceAI.js – This is a standard Java Script library.
  • Now, you may use the EnxFaceAI.js file in your HTML file to make use of the SDK.
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript" src="path/EnxFaceAI.js"></script>

</html>

Note: You must enable FaceAI while defining a Room for Facial Expression Analysis to work. Use “{ "settings": { "facex": true; }} to define a room.

Initialize FaceAI

FaceAI analyses Video Streams within an ongoing EnableX Video Session. To get started with analysis, you must bind the FaceAI Object with the Room in which Video Session is on.

Method: EnxFaceAI.init(connectedRoomInfo, stream, callback) – To start analysis on given Stream

Parameters:

  • connectedRoomInfo – JSON Object. Pass the Response-JSON returned as Callback of EnxRtc.joinRoom() or EnxRoom.connect() method.
  • stream – The Stream Object which will be analyzed. You may analyze Local Stream Object or Remote Stream Object (Stream Reference may be bound in Active Talkers List)
  • callback: Callback to know if the room is enabled for FaceAI Analysis an that the client point is connected to an active session

Example:

localStream = EnxRtc.joinRoom(token, config, (response, error) => {
	if (error && error != null) { }

	if (response && response != null) {
		const FaceAI  = new EnxFaceAI(); // Construct the Object
		FaceAI.init(response, localStream, function (event) {
			// event.result == 0 - All Ok to process	
		})
	}
})

Face Detector

This is to detect how many faces are there in a Video Stream. The Event Listener keeps getting data in JSON as the detector tries to detect faces in the changing video frame.

Method: EnxFaceAI.startFaceDetector(config, callback) – To start analysis

Parameters:

  • config – JSON Object. This is to configure or customize parameter using which the Face Detector would analyze.
    • maxInputFrameSize – Number. Default 160 (pixel). Input Frame Size in pixels for Face Detection.
    • fullFrameDetection – A boolean. It is true when detection was full-frame and multiple faces can be returned, false otherwise.
  • callback: Callback to know that processing request has been accepted.

Event Listener:

  • face-detector – This event notifies repeatedly with Face Detection analysis report with JSON Object. JSON Object Reference appended below:
{
    faces: Array(n)
    rects: Array(n)
    status: string
}

JSON Object Explanation:

  • faces: Array. The detected faces in form of ImageData objects (zero or one; or multiple faces, if fullFrameDetection is true)
  • rects: Array of objects. Describes the bounding boxes (zero or one; or multiple rects, if fullFrameDetection is true)
    • x: Upper left point x coordinate
    • y: Upper left point y coordinate
    • width: Width of the bounding box
    • height: Height of the bounding box

    • INIT: Detector initializing; zero or many faces could be returned
    • TRACK_OK: Detector is correctly tracking one face; one face is returned
    • RECOVERING: Detector lost a face and attempting to recover and continue tracking; zero faces are returned

Method: EnxFaceAI.stopFaceDetector(callback) – – To stop analysis

Parameters:

  • callback: Callback to know that request has been accepted.

Example:

config = {
	maxInputFrameSize: 200,
	fullFrameDetection: true
}; 

// Start Face Detector
faceAI.startFaceDetector(config, (res) => {
	if (res.result === 0) {
		window.addEventListener("face-detector", (evt) => {
			console.log(evt.detail, "face-detector");
