Instruction for running this open source code

[ken881015]

I follow README.md for loading checkpoint "net_021.pth" prepared by author but the process is not that smoothly.
So I record what I have done for fix those problem.

Info

• Done: Not Yet

Environment

• I follow requirement.txt for install packages I needs for running by conda.
• Every package installed are followed requirement.txt, and here is something you should noticed!
  

Torch version

• torch is 1.2.0, and the version has vital effect when you load "net_021.pth" as pre-trained checkpoint.
  Just as this guy mentioned, different version of torch have different strategy for convolution operation. So if you what to use pre-trained model "net_021.pth". Notice your yorch version.

How about running by newest torch such as 1.17.0 or 2.0.0?

• the method of fixing mis-match of feature map size from the message below.
  
  • I just turn self.conv2 in ResBlock4 from conv4x4 to conv3x3, and you can get a well-function but untrained model.
  • And maybe you can train it now ? (I haven't do this yet)

Numba

• Error msg of numba may related to the version of its dependent package not listed in requirement.txt: llvmlite==0.32.1
  

Inference

• In README.md chapter Predicting
  • the step are too simple for follow currently, and if you are using other data not belong to AFLW2000-3D or 300w-lp, you can't get what you want....

Predicting AFLW2000-3D

• original command is only suitable for AFLW2000-3D or 300w-lp which has go through pre-process by prepare_dataset.py
  • Like this
    
  • And get this
    

How to predict our own data?

• The most easy way is
  • Put jpg file (ex. name.jpg) in data/example/name
  • Add a if here:
    • "src/dataset/dataloader.py; class ImageData; func read_path; before loadmat function line 41 "
      
    • And you can predict whatever you want!!
      

Face-Profiling Algorithm and 'data/dataset/Extra_LP' ?

• Undone....

Welcome for any discussion. Hope we can fight together!!!

Hello! I hope I'm not disturbing you. May I ask if it's necessary to preprocess the JPG files before placing them in the data/example/name directory? @ken881015
