[MilindModi]

i tried the following two ways o loading image and output of the following codes are commemnted
1st try

 var imageAsBase64 = fs.readFileSync(path, 'base64');
          console.log('Exists ' + typeof (imageAsBase64)) // output  :Exists string


          const image = await faceapi.bufferToImage(imageAsBase64)
              .then(res =>{console.log(res)})
              .catch(e=> console.log("Error e "+e)) //output :Error e TypeError: Right-hand side of 'instanceof' is not an object

2nd try

   var imageAsBase64 = fs.readFileSync(path);
            console.log('Exists ' + typeof (imageAsBase64)) // Exists object


            const image = await faceapi.fetchImage(imageAsBase64)
                .then(res =>{console.log(res)})
                .catch(e=> console.log("Error e "+e)) //Error e Type Error: Only absolute URLs are supported

You should be able to just pass the file path like this faceapi.fetchImage(path). I am not 100% sure, but I am pretty certain.

i tried but the error is same if you want to look at my code will uppload my repo to github

     var location = req.files[0].destination
        var imgFile = req.files[0].filename;
        if(!fs.existsSync(fspath.join(location,imgFile))) {
         console.log("Not exists")
      }else{
        console.log('Exists')  //yes Exists
      }


        const image = await faceapi.fetchImage(fspath.join(location,imgFile))
            .then(res =>{console.log(res)})
            .catch(e=> console.log("Error e "+e)) // Error e TypeError: Only absolute URLs are supported

I am not really sure then. I really do not know this library well enough to answer this question beyond the answer I gave.

faceapi.bufferToImage returns uses Blob under the hood, so you would need a node polyfill for that.

faceapi.fetchImage as the name implies uses fetch under the hood, thus it doesn't work with filepaths to local files.

I would recommend you to use the node canvas package for reading and writing images as stated in the README and shown in the node examples.
