Confusion in docs, Can we use Face Models in NodeJS for finding similarities and matches ?

Can we use this in the NodeJS backend for finding face matches and similarities?

I found docs a little confusing as I want to build a system that will check an image match or similarity against all images I have in the database. It is mentioned twice in docs that face models are not supported in NodeJS as of now, but still, they are used in NodeJS demo, can I use face models to create face image search and identity system?

Screenshots of docs:

I'll update docs when I'm back in ~10 days.
This used to be true, now all models work in NodeJS and only missing functionality is advanced face rotation correction.

The required function for that last piece of functionality was just implemented in tfjs-node package so that should also be enabled in the next version of Human in about ~2 weeks.

Please consider updating docs for this as people may leave the repo considering it doesn't support face models.

Like i Said - i Will update docs as soon as I'm back from my trip.

As it been implemented?
i see in the doc there is still:

human/TODO.md

Line 41 in 497ca46

Enhanced rotation correction for face detection and hand detection is not working in **NodeJS** due to missing kernel op in **TFJS**

Enhanced rotation correction for face detection and hand detection is not working in NodeJS due to missing kernel op in TFJS

That means that everything in the doc works for node JS expect precise face angle?

Crop to face ✅
Find rought face angle and straighten face ✅
Detect mesh ✅
Find precise face angle and again straighten face ❌
Crop again with more narrow margins ✅
Convert image to grayscale to avoid impact of different colorizations ✅
Normalize brightness to full range for all images ✅

Your checklist is correct.

docs are updated. note that latest list of open issues is always listed in <TODO.md>
