This is a fork of the OpenFace project. I modified the code to add the streaming of face and head data to a Python script through ZeroMQ on Windows. I just needed it for a research project, but I realized that it was not available anywhere, so I decided to implement it (though in a quick and dirt way). Hopefully it can be of help for other people.

Instructions:

• clone the repository
• execute the two scripts "download_libraries.ps1" and "download_models.ps1" (right click "run with PowerShell")
• open OpenFace.sln in Visual Studio 2019
• choose the configuration x64/Release
• build the solution
• go to x64/Release and launch OpenFaceOffline.exe
• do not change any parameter, just start the webcam from the first menu

The data is streamed as raw text through a ZeroMQ push (fire-and-forget) socket on 127.0.0.1:5000.

An example consumer script is provided (OpenFace_worker.py).
