I use docker image to run the code.

@1adrianb Thank you! I have solved this issue by manually downloading the face_detector and face_alignment model. Your passion and politeness impress me, thank you very much!
Best,
Edward

[1adrianb]

@Edwardmark I am glad it works! I am really sorry for the issue you experienced.

[Edwardmark]

@1adrianb Another question, do you have any ideas about how to actually align the faces based on the landmark locations? Maybe use some affine functions? Any advise?

[1adrianb]

@Edwardmark as a simple approach, you can try to use Procrustes (https://www.mathworks.com/help/stats/procrustes.html) but depending on how accurate you need to be or how difficult your poses are you may need something better.

Hey @Edwardmark Did you find any method for actually aligning faces. I need to align face in 3D co-ordinates(frontal alignment).
Thank you in advance

hello,
I experience the same issue because my network administrator don't allow the connection.
Where I can download the face_detector and face_alignment model?
how I will modify the code to allow offline call of
fa = face_alignment.FaceAlignment(face_alignment.LandmarksType._2D, flip_input=False)
Thanks in advance.
Samir

Where do you paste those files to after downloading them, I am having problems doing so, any help?
