Before you start

Make sure you have python, OpenFace and dlib installed. You can either install them manually or use a preconfigured docker image that has everying already installed:

docker pull bamos/openface
docker run -p 9000:9000 -p 8000:8000 -t -i bamos/openface /bin/bash
cd /root/openface

Step 1

Make a folder called /training-images/ somewhere on your computer.

Step 2

Make a subfolder for each person you want to recognize. For example:

  • /training-images/will-ferrell/
  • /training-images/chad-smith/
  • /training-images/jimmy-fallon/

Step 3

Copy all your images of each person into the correct sub-folders

Step 4

Run the openface scripts from inside the openface root directory:

First, do pose detection and alignment:

./util/align-dlib.py ./training-images/ align outerEyesAndNose ./aligned-images/ --size 96

Second, generate the representations from the aligned images:

./batch-represent/main.lua -outDir ./generated-embeddings/ -data ./aligned-images/

When you are done, the ./generated-embeddings/ folder will contain a csv file with the embeddings for each image.

I tried to run this code on windows environment .I have set up everything dlib and pytorch using anaconda torch,csvigo,dnn using luarorks
and the first part of aligning the images was a success, I used "python util/align-dlib.py training-images/ align outerEyesAndNose aligned-images/ --size 96" command in a conda environment and got the aligned images in "aligned-images" folder but the problem is I was unable to get the embeddings in the "generated-embeddings" folder i used the command "lua batch-represent/main.lua -outDir generated-embeddings/ -data aligned-images/" at first i got lots of errors like requred csvigo,dnn,nn etc.but after installing all those packages the command executed successfully but the folder "generated-embeddings" was not created ,I am not even getting any errors.can some one help me how to run this code successfully on a windows environment.

-Thanks

Im sorry but after I run this it says
/root/torch/install/bin/luajit: /root/openface/batch-represent/dataset.lua:193: could not find any image file in the given input paths

I am wondering why this happens, and also, if I have the embeddings, how can I use this to test the videos or other images on the Internet?

May be you followed the exact steps( specially step2) The path given ( /training-images/will-ferrell/) is relative to root ("/") but in steps further , author assumed in current directory.( i.e. ./training-images/will-ferrell/, note the dot ahead).

Is there any model to get face embedding features?

When executing lua batch-represent/main.lua -outDir generated-embeddings -data aligned-images I got :
