No json file found for AU07

[NITechLabs]

Hi all,

Not sure if anyone is still checking this repos, but after installing OpenFace (works!) I see in the console that modules-facsvatar_facstoblend-1 reports: No json file found for AU07.
When looking in the AU_predictor folders I indeed do not see AU07 files in the 'disfa' folders.

Not having the detection of AU07 happers the detection as the Anger expression relies heavily on AU07.

Anyone know if I can find/add the missing files?

Cheers!

Hi,

It has been a while, but if my memory serves me correctly, the reason is that human models generated by Manual Bastioni Lab (MB-Lab) Blender add-on do not come with the right blendshapes to visualize AU07. The module process_facstoblend is to map AU values to (blendshape) values that are supported by the model being used (currently MB-Lab models are the default). This module is only required if a model does not support FACS directly.

If a more scientifically correct animation is required, take a look at FACSHuman:

• https://www.michaelgilbert.fr/facshuman/
• https://facsvatar.readthedocs.io/en/latest/visualization/facshuman.html
• https://github.com/montybot/Facsvatar-plugin

This model accepts AU values directly.

Let me know if you run into any trouble.
