How to turn off the display before building OpenFace? about openface HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey @ismeyueyue ,

I encountered the same issue when running OpenFace without a GUI. The application requires a display for its operations.

One effective solution is to use X11 forwarding. This approach works well, especially in scenarios involving Docker containers that need a DISPLAY. If you're on a Mac, you can follow this guide for setting up X11 forwarding.

Additionally, you might consider using FaceLandmarkVidMulti instead of FaceLandmarkVid. The former doesn't require a display and should work fine for your needs.

Hope this helps!

The mentioned sample has a GUI, using OpenCV to display images/frames.
Have you tried using the sample `FeatureExtraction´ instead?
You could disable all the visualizations via command line arguments:

-vis-track visualise the tracked face
-vis-hog visualise the HOG features
-vis-align visualise similarity aligned faces
-vis-aus visualise Action Units

But I haven't tried it just now...

thanks for you replay!
The FeatureExtraction commond is work for me, which has save the detect .csv result.

The arguments like -vis-track is just turn on the visualise the tracked face, and no relevant way to turn off these visualizations...
