Different versions of OpenFace


I've been using the following C++ OpenFace project for some time: https://github.com/TadasBaltrusaitis/OpenFace

I am thinking to try different Python project which is called OpenFace too: https://github.com/cmusatyalab/openface

I tried to understand how these two projects are related but unsuccessfully.

Please explain whether these two projects are different implementations of the same algorithm(s)? Should I expect identical results from both libraries?


Solution

  • These are different projects with different goals

    First project concentrates on facial landmarks, eye gaze direction, head pose and very important Facial Action units calculation which lead to decoding of the facial emotions (smile, sad etc.)

    Second project dedicated entirely to face recognition task and they are doing it with high degree of accuracy
