MediaPipe Unity Plugin

This is a Unity (2021.3.3f1) Native Plugin to use MediaPipe (0.8.10).

The goal of this project is to port the MediaPipe API (C++) one by one to C# so that it can be called from Unity.
This approach may sacrifice performance when you need to call multiple APIs in a loop, but it gives you the flexibility to use MediaPipe instead.

With this plugin, you can

Write MediaPipe code in C#.
Run MediaPipe's official solution on Unity.
Run your custom Calculator and CalculatorGraph on Unity.
- ⚠️ Depending on the type of input/output, you may need to write C++ code.

😸 Hello World!

Here is a Hello World! example.
Compare it with the official code!

using Mediapipe;
using UnityEngine;

public sealed class HelloWorld : MonoBehaviour
{
    private const string _ConfigText = @"
input_stream: ""in""
output_stream: ""out""
node {
  calculator: ""PassThroughCalculator""
  input_stream: ""in""
  output_stream: ""out1""
}
node {
  calculator: ""PassThroughCalculator""
  input_stream: ""out1""
  output_stream: ""out""
}
";

    private void Start()
    {
        var graph = new CalculatorGraph(_ConfigText);
        var poller = graph.AddOutputStreamPoller<string>("out").Value();
        graph.StartRun().AssertOk();

        for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        {
            graph.AddPacketToInputStream("in", new StringPacket("Hello World!", new Timestamp(i))).AssertOk();
        }

        graph.CloseInputStream("in").AssertOk();
        var packet = new StringPacket();

        while (poller.Next(packet))
        {
            Debug.Log(packet.Get());
        }
        graph.WaitUntilDone().AssertOk();
    }
}

🛠️ Installation

This repository does not contain required libraries (e.g. libmediapipe_c.so, Google.Protobuf.dll, etc).
You can download an all-in-one package from the release page, but if you want to customize the package or minify the package size, you need to build them by yourself.\

For a step-by-step guide, please refer to the Installation Guide in Wiki.
You can also take advantage of the Package Workflow on Github Actions.

⚠️ libraries that can be built differ depending on your environment.
