An AI agent is merging PRs into major OSS projects and cold-emailing maintainers to drum up more work.

Advanced tools
The module exposes a single function createDetector which accepts a classifier and options and returns a function that will perform the detection.
import { createDetector } from "haar-detect";
import classifier from "haar!./my-trained-cascade.xml";
const detect = createDetector(classifier, { width: 640, height: 480, scale: 1.2 });
const url = "http://some/image.png";
detect(url).then(rectangles => {
// array of rectangles the classifier detected
}, err => {
// failed to load image
});
const img = document.images[0];
detect(img).then(rectangles => {
// array of rectangles the classifier detected
}, err => {
// failed to load image
});
const blob = aFileOrBlobHandle;
detect(blob).then(rectangles => {
// array of rectangles the classifier detected
}, err => {
// failed to load image
});
// or
const objecturl = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
detect(objecturl).then(rectangles => {
// array of rectangles the classifier detected
}, err => {
// failed to load image
})
.then(() => {
//don't forget to free the object url if you don't need it.
URL.revokeObjectURL(objecturl);
});
This module doesn't ship with any classifiers, but instead you could use the modules from mtschirs/js-objectdetect or with the haar-loader you can use any XML classifier, such as the banana classifier from coding-robin.de or those that are part of the OpenCV project at alereimondo.no-ip.org.
