Hello everyone.
I am trying to pass a JavaScript variable called “facialImageURL” in an HTML file to a Django view function.
The following HTML file called “facial-login.html” is where the “facialImageURL” variable is located:
<!doctype html>
<head>
<style>
#video {
border: 1px solid black;
width: 320px;
height: 240px;
}
#photo {
border: 1px solid black;
width: 320px;
height: 240px;
}
#canvas {
display: none;
}
.camera {
width: 340px;
display: inline-block;
}
.output {
width: 340px;
display: inline-block;
}
#startbutton {
display: block;
position: relative;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
bottom: 36px;
padding: 5px;
background-color: #6a67ce;
border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
font-size: 14px;
color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1.0);
cursor: pointer;
}
.contentarea {
font-size: 16px;
font-family: Arial;
text-align: center;
}
.capture-image {
position: absolute;
top: 400px;
left: 700px;
}
</style>
<!--The title of the HTML document.-->
<title>Facial Image Recognition</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="contentarea">
<h1>Facial Image Recognition</h1>
<div class="camera">
<video id="video">Video stream not available.</video>
</div>
<!--An id on a <button> tag assigns an identifier to the button.
The id allows JavaScript to easily access the <button> element
and manipulate it.

<div class="capture-image">

</div>
<!-- <div>
<a href="{% url 'facial-login-result' %}" id="startButton"
class="btn btn-info btn-lg">

</div> -->
<!--The HTML canvas tag is where the image frames are stored

<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
<div class="output">
<img id="photo" alt="The image captured will appear in this box.">
</div>
</div>

startbutton = document.getElementById('startbutton');
// Access the video stream from the webcam.
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({
video: true,

})
// Upon success, stream video in a video tag.
.then(function(stream) {
video.srcObject = stream;
video.play();
})
.catch(function(err) {
console.log("An error occurred: " + err);
});
video.addEventListener('canplay', function(ev) {

}
}, false);
startbutton.addEventListener('click', function(ev) {

ev.preventDefault();
}, false);
clearphoto();
}

function clearphoto() {
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
context.fillStyle = "#AAA";

var data = canvas.toDataURL('image/png');
photo.setAttribute('src', data);
}
/*Capture a frame from the video stream.*/
function takepicture() {
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
if (width && height) {
canvas.width = width;
canvas.height = height;
/*The canvas takes a snapshot of the video.*/
context.drawImage(video, 0, 0, width, height);
/*toDataURL('image/png') returns a data URL containing a
representation of the image in PNG format.
'data' will hold the URL link of each image that is
captured from the camera.*/
var data = canvas.toDataURL('image/png');
/*'src' is the name of the attribute whose value is to be set.
'data' is a string containing the value to assign to the attribute.
The data is fed as a source of the image element.*/
photo.setAttribute('src', data);
let facialImageURL = '<img src="'+data+'"/>';
// document.write('<img src="'+data+'"/>');
} else {
clearphoto();
}
}
/*The following code will call the startup() function when
the HTML page is loaded.*/
window.addEventListener('load', startup, false);
})();
</script>
</body>
</html>
Any ideas or suggestions on how this can be done? Thank you.
