This version of openface is modified to work with websocket server for Avatar control toolkit, it's not an official version of openface and may have some bugs.
We will try to keep this version up to date with the official version of openface, but we can't guarantee that it will be always up to date.
You may need to get opencv dll that we can't push to this repo due to its size, you will find it in the official openface repo or in release section.
Warning
You need to put the config.xml in the folder x64\Release\ (you have to compile first)
Make sure the room id exist before you launch openfaceOffline
Over the past few years, there has been an increased interest in automatic facial behavior analysis and understanding. We present OpenFace – a tool intended for computer vision and machine learning researchers, affective computing community and people interested in building interactive applications based on facial behavior analysis. OpenFace is the first toolkit capable of facial landmark detection, head pose estimation, facial action unit recognition, and eye-gaze estimation with available source code for both running and training the models. The computer vision algorithms which represent the core of OpenFace demonstrate state-of-the-art results in all of the above mentioned tasks. Furthermore, our tool is capable of real-time performance and is able to run from a simple webcam without any specialist hardware.
OpenFace was originally developed by Tadas Baltrušaitis in collaboration with CMU MultiComp Lab led by Prof. Louis-Philippe Morency. Some of the original algorithms were created while at Rainbow Group, Cambridge University. The OpenFace library is still actively developed at the CMU MultiComp Lab in collaboration with Tadas Baltršaitis. Special thanks to researcher who helped developing, implementing and testing the algorithms present in OpenFace: Amir Zadeh and Yao Chong Lim on work on the CE-CLM model and Erroll Wood for the gaze estimation work.
For instructions of how to install/compile/use the project please see WIKI
The system is capable of performing a number of facial analysis tasks:
- Facial Landmark Detection
- Facial Landmark and head pose tracking (links to YouTube videos)
- Facial Action Unit Recognition
- Gaze tracking (image of it in action)
- Facial Feature Extraction (aligned faces and HOG features)

I did my best to make sure that the code runs out of the box but there are always issues and I would be grateful for your understanding that this is research code and a research project. If you encounter any problems/bugs/issues please contact me on github or by emailing me at tadyla@gmail.com for any bug reports/questions/suggestions. I prefer questions and bug reports on github as that provides visibility to others who might be encountering same issues or who have the same questions.
