What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A Node.js wrapper around dlib providing face detection, face recognition, and face landmark detection with JavaScript and TypeScript APIs. The README explicitly states the package is obsolete in favor of face-api.js.
Use cases
- detect faces in images from nodejs
- recognize and identify faces in photos
- extract face landmarks like 5-point and 68-point models
- build a node script that matches faces against known people
- run dlib face tools without writing C++
When to choose
- you are locked into a legacy Node.js pipeline already using this package
- you specifically need the dlib-based face tooling via a native Node addon
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use face-api.js instead
- you need browser support
- you want an actively maintained library
