Describe the actual behavior

Face Mesh successfully detects faces for the first few frames. After a short time, detection stops entirely, even though the camera feed remains active. The issue persists across different browsers and environments, including the official MediaPipe Web Demo.

Describe the expected behaviour

Face Mesh should consistently detect faces throughout execution, without stopping unexpectedly. Detection should remain stable, as seen on other devices where the model runs without issues.

Standalone code/steps you may have used to try to get what you need

async function createFaceLandmarker() { const filesetResolver = await FilesetResolver.forVisionTasks( "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@mediapipe/tasks-vision@0.10.3/wasm" ); faceLandmarker = await FaceLandmarker.createFromOptions(filesetResolver, { baseOptions: { modelAssetPath: https://storage.googleapis.com/mediapipe-models/face_landmarker/face_landmarker/float16/1/face_landmarker.task, delegate: "GPU" }, outputFaceBlendshapes: true, runningMode, numFaces: 1 }); let startTimeMs = performance.now(); results = faceLandmarker.detectForVideo(video, startTimeMs); }

Other info / Complete Logs

We've encountered an issue with MediaPipe Face Mesh on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. The detection works only for the first few frames after execution, but then it stops detecting faces entirely.

This problem also occurs when using the official MediaPipe Web Demo (https://codepen.io/mediapipe-preview/pen/OJBVQJm), where the face mesh initially detects properly but quickly stops working.

Hi @guilherme-bakaukas,

it appears to be a genuine issue with the Samsung S25 models, and we can see that the issue has already been raised here #5867. We will bring this matter to the attention of our team. Hopefully, no higher-priority tasks will take precedence over this. We will keep you updated on the status.

Thank you!!

Same issue on S22 ULTRA. i try to change to CPU. still occur.
BaseOptions.builder().setModelAssetPath("pose_landmarker_full.task")
.setDelegate(Delegate.CPU).build()
