ightweight machine learning models that can run in a web browser for video processing do exist as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021. TensorFlow.js is a prime example of this. TensorFlow.js is a library for machine learning in JavaScript, and it enables you to develop ML models in JavaScript and use them in the browser or in Node.js.

Running a machine learning model directly in a web browser has many benefits. It can reduce server costs, and also improve user privacy, since data never needs to leave the user's device to be processed. The limitation is the complexity of the models and the computational power of the client device.

To give an example, you could use a lightweight model like MobileNet for image classification or object detection tasks. But video processing, especially facial recognition, can be more computationally demanding, so you'd need a relatively powerful device to process video in real time without lag.

You could use TensorFlow.js in combination with other JavaScript APIs like the MediaDevices UserMedia API to capture video data from a user's webcam, then feed that data into a TensorFlow.js model for processing. But you would need to be aware of the limitations of this approach. For complex tasks like facial recognition, the model might not be as accurate as a larger model running on a server with more processing power, and it might be slower, depending on the user's device.

As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see increasingly powerful machine learning capabilities running directly in the browser, but as of my last update in 2021, this is where we are. For the most recent and accurate information, I recommend checking the official TensorFlow.js website or other related resources.
