Pigo is a pure Go library for fast face detection, pupil/eye localization, and facial landmark detection based on the Pixel Intensity Comparison-based Object detection paper. It requires no OpenCV or third-party dependencies and also supports WebAssembly.
Use cases
- detect faces in images without installing OpenCV
- localize pupils and eyes in photos
- detect facial landmark points
- run face detection in the browser via WebAssembly
- detect in-plane rotated faces
- build real-time face detection applications in Go
When to choose
- you need face detection in Go without cgo or OpenCV dependencies
- performance matters and C bindings introduce latency
- you want pupil/eye or landmark detection alongside face detection
- you need WebAssembly support for browser-based detection
When to avoid
- you need general object detection beyond faces (not yet supported)
- you need a full computer vision suite like OpenCV
- your stack is not Go or WebAssembly
