            Bug ID: 198174
           Summary: Feature Request: Implement the Shape Detection API
                    `BarcodeDetector` and `FaceDetector`
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 12
          Hardware: iPhone / iPad
                OS: iOS 12
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

The Shape Detection API (https://wicg.github.io/shape-detection-api/) defines detectors for faces (https://wicg.github.io/shape-detection-api/#face-detection-api) and barcodes (https://wicg.github.io/shape-detection-api/#barcode-detection-api), both of which are natively supported by the iOS Camera app. This API exposes these OS-level detectors to web applications through straight-forward interfaces.

There is a well-documented industry case where native barcode detection would help from eBay: https://medium.com/ebaytech/webassembly-at-ebay-a-real-world-use-case-ef888f38b537.
