Tesseract.js
A pure Javascript Multilingual OCR
Tesseract.js is a pure Javascript port of the popular Tesseract OCR engine. Tesseract.js' library supports more than 100 languages, automatic text orientation and script detection, a simple interface for reading paragraph, word, and character bounding boxes. Tesseract.js can run either in a browser and on a server with NodeJS. Tesseract.js is a javascript library that gets words in almost any spoken language out of images. The main Tesseract.js functions (ex. recognize, detect) take an image parameter, which should be something that is like an image. What's considered "image-like" differs depending on whether it is being run from the browser or through NodeJS. -

html2canvas
A JavaScript HTML screenshot renderer
html2canvas is a JavaScript HTML renderer. The script provides you with the tools to take screenshots of webpages directly on the browser. The screenshot is based on the DOM and therefore, it may not be 100% accurate to the real representation, given that it is not an actual screenshot, but a type of screenshot built based on the available data and information of the page. The script renders such page as a canvas image, by reading the DOM and the different styles of the featured elements. It doesn't require rendering from the server, given that the image is created on the user's browser. However, as it is heavily dependent on the browser, the library is not to be used in nodejs. It can't circumvent any browser content policy restrictions and to render cross-origin content a proxy will be needed to get the content to the same origin. -

CSSgram
CSS library for Instagram filters
Simply put, CSSgram is a library for editing your images with Instagram-like filters directly using CSS. What we're doing is adding filters to the images, as well as applying color and/or gradient overlays via various blending techniques to mimic filter effects. This means less manual image processing and more fun filter effects on the web! We are using pseudo-elements (i.e. :before and :after) to create the filter effects, so you must apply these filters on a containing element (i.e. not a content-block like <img>. The recommendation is to wrap your images in a <figure> tag. If you use custom naming in your CSS architecture, you can add the .scss files for the provided styles within your project and then @extend the filter effects within your style definitions. Mixins allow for multiple filter arguments to be passed into your classes. This is useful for if you want to add filters in addition to the ones provided (i.e. add a blur). -

pixelmatch
The smallest, simplest JavaScript pixel-level image comparison library
The smallest, simplest and fastest JavaScript pixel-level image comparison library, originally created to compare screenshots in tests. Features accurate anti-aliased pixels detection and perceptual color difference metrics. Inspired by Resemble.js and Blink-diff. Unlike these libraries, pixelmatch is around 150 lines of code, has no dependencies, and works on raw typed arrays of image data, so it's blazing fast and can be used in any environment (Node or browsers). Compares two images, writes the output diff and returns the number of mismatched pixels. -

Color Thief
Grab the color palette from an image using just Javascript
The Color Thief package includes multiple distribution files to support different environments and build processes. Gets the dominant color from the image. Color is returned as an array of three integers representing red, green, and blue values. When called in the browser, the image argument expects an HTML image element, not a URL. When run in Node, this argument expects a path to the image. quality is an optional argument that must be an Integer of value 1 or greater, and defaults to 10. The number determines how many pixels are skipped before the next one is sampled. We rarely need to sample every single pixel in the image to get good results. The bigger the number, the faster a value will be returned. Gets a palette from the image by clustering similar colors. The palette is returned as an array containing colors, each color itself an array of three integers. -

Jimp
An image processing library written entirely in JavaScript for Node
An image processing library for Node written entirely in JavaScript, with zero native dependencies. If you're using this library with TypeScript the method of importing slightly differs from JavaScript. Instead of using require, you must import it with ES6 default import scheme. If you're using a web bundles (webpack, rollup, parcel) you can benefit from using the module build of jimp. Using the module build will allow your bundler to understand your code better and exclude things you aren't using. If you're using webpack you can set process.browser to true and your build of jimp will exclude certain parts, making it load faster. The static Jimp.read method takes the path to a file, URL, dimensions, a Jimp instance or a buffer and returns a Promise. In some cases, you need to pass additional parameters with an image's URL. -

Caire
Content aware image resize library
Caire is a content aware image resize library based on Seam Carving for Content-Aware Image Resizing paper. An energy map (edge detection) is generated from the provided image. The algorithm tries to find the least important parts of the image taking into account the lowest energy values. Using a dynamic programming approach the algorithm will generate individual seams across the image from top to down, or from left to right (depending on the horizontal or vertical resizing) and will allocate for each seam a custom value, the least important pixels having the lowest energy cost and the most important ones having the highest cost. We traverse the image from the second row to the last row and compute the cumulative minimum energy for all possible connected seams for each entry. The minimum energy level is calculated by summing up the current pixel value with the lowest value of the neighboring pixels obtained from the previous row. -

Face Alignment
2D and 3D Face alignment library build using pytorch
Detect facial landmarks from Python using the world's most accurate face alignment network, capable of detecting points in both 2D and 3D coordinates. Build using FAN's state-of-the-art deep learning-based face alignment method. For numerical evaluations, it is highly recommended to use the lua version which uses identical models with the ones evaluated in the paper. More models will be added soon. By default, the package will use the SFD face detector. However, the users can alternatively use dlib, BlazeFace, or pre-existing ground truth bounding boxes. While not required, for optimal performance(especially for the detector) it is highly recommended to run the code using a CUDA-enabled GPU. While here the work is presented as a black box, if you want to know more about the intrisecs of the method please check the original paper either on arxiv or my webpage. -

retina.js
JavaScript helpers for rendering high-resolution image variants
retina.js makes it easy to serve high-resolution images to devices with displays that support them. You can prepare images for as many levels of pixel density as you want and let retina.js dynamically serve the right image to the user. retina.js assumes you are using Apple's prescribed high-resolution modifiers (@2x, @3x, etc) to denote high-res image variants on your server. It also assumes that if you have prepared a variant for a given high-res environment, that you have also prepared variants for each environment below it. For example, if you have prepared 3x variants, retina.js will assume that you have also prepared 2x variants. If the environment does have 3x capabilities, retina.js will serve up the 3x image. It will expect that url to be /images/my_image@3x.png. If the environment has the ability to display images at higher densities than 3x, retina.js will serve up the image of the highest resolution that you've provided, in this case 3x. -

Adaptative Backgrounds
A jQuery plugin for extracting the dominant color from images
A jQuery plugin for extracting dominant colors from images and applying it to its parent. Install via bower. Then simply include jQuery and the script in your page, and invoke it like so. Instead of using an <img> element nested inside of parent element, AB supports grabbing the dominant color of a background image of a standalone element, then applying the corresponding dominant color as the background color of said element. Enable this functionality by adding a data property, data-ab-css-background to the element. selector String (default: 'img[data-adaptive-background="1"]') a CSS selector which denotes which images to grab/process. Ideally, this selector would start with img, to ensure we only grab and try to process actual images. parent falsy (default: null) a CSS selector which denotes which parent to apply the background color to. By default, the color is applied to the parent one level up the DOM tree. -

DETR
End-to-end object detection with transformers
PyTorch training code and pretrained models for DETR (DEtection TRansformer). We replace the full complex hand-crafted object detection pipeline with a Transformer, and match Faster R-CNN with a ResNet-50, obtaining 42 AP on COCO using half the computation power (FLOPs) and the same number of parameters. Inference in 50 lines of PyTorch. What it is. Unlike traditional computer vision techniques, DETR approaches object detection as a direct set prediction problem. It consists of a set-based global loss, which forces unique predictions via bipartite matching, and a Transformer encoder-decoder architecture. Given a fixed small set of learned object queries, DETR reasons about the relations of the objects and the global image context to directly output the final set of predictions in parallel. Due to this parallel nature, DETR is very fast and efficient. -
