Browser-based hair color prediction using TensorFlow.js. Classifies hair into 4 categories: black, brown, blond, gray.

Lightweight model (~2.3MB) with fast loading and inference in the browser.

Installation

npm install @avatune/hair-color-predictor @tensorflow/tfjs

Usage

import { createHairColorPredictor } from '@avatune/hair-color-predictor'

// Uses jsDelivr CDN by default - no setup required!
const predictor = createHairColorPredictor()
await predictor.loadModel()

const result = await predictor.predictFromImage(imageElement)
console.log(result)
// {
//   color: 'brown',
//   confidence: 0.87,
//   probabilities: { black: 0.05, brown: 0.87, blond: 0.06, gray: 0.02 },
//   faceDetected: true
// }

Model Files

By default, models are loaded from jsDelivr CDN (https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@avatune/hair-color-predictor@1.2.2/dist/model). No setup required!

Self-hosting (Optional)

If you prefer to self-host the model files, copy them from dist/model/ to your public directory:

model.json - Model architecture and weights manifest
classes.json - Class labels
group1-shard1of1.bin - Model weights

Then pass the path to the predictor:

const predictor = createHairColorPredictor('/models/hair-color')

Setup with Vite (Optional)

import { copyFileSync, mkdirSync, readdirSync } from 'node:fs'
import { join } from 'node:path'
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    {
      name: 'copy-tfjs-models',
      buildStart() {
        const srcDir = join(__dirname, 'node_modules', '@avatune', 'hair-color-predictor', 'dist', 'model')
        const destDir = join(__dirname, 'public', 'models', 'hair-color')

        mkdirSync(destDir, { recursive: true })

        copyFileSync(join(srcDir, 'model.json'), join(destDir, 'model.json'))
        copyFileSync(join(srcDir, 'classes.json'), join(destDir, 'classes.json'))

        const files = readdirSync(srcDir)
        for (const file of files) {
          if (file.endsWith('.bin')) {
            copyFileSync(join(srcDir, file), join(destDir, file))
          }
        }

        console.log('✓ Copied hair-color model to public/models')
      },
    },
  ],
})

API

Structure

createHairColorPredictor(modelDir?: string)

Parameters:

modelDir (optional) - Path to directory containing model files. Defaults to jsDelivr CDN

Functions

`loadModel(): Promise<void>`

Loads the TFJS model and class labels. Call this once before making predictions.

`predict(imageTensor: tf.Tensor3D): Promise<HairColorResult>`

Predicts hair color from an image tensor.

Parameters:

imageTensor - Normalized RGB image tensor [H, W, 3] with values in range [0, 1]

Returns:

{
  color: string        // Predicted class: 'black' | 'brown' | 'blond' | 'gray'
  confidence: number   // Confidence score [0, 1]
  probabilities: Record<string, number>  // Scores for all classes
}

`predictFromImage(image): Promise<HairColorResult>`

Predicts hair color from an image element. Automatically detects and crops the face for better accuracy.

Parameters:

image - HTMLImageElement, HTMLVideoElement, or HTMLCanvasElement

Returns: Same as predict(), plus faceDetected: boolean

Model Details

Architecture: MobileNetV2-based CNN
Input: 128x128 RGB images
Classes: 4 (black, brown, blond, gray)
Training: CelebA dataset
Accuracy: ~79%
Format: TensorFlow.js with uint8 quantization
