Openface failing with sample data

[herrington]

I successfully installed open_dbm on my mac (OSX 10.15.7), entered the open_dbm directory, and ran:

bash process_dbm.sh --input_path=sample_data --output_path=sample_data_output

The program appeared to fail when running openface. Here is the error message at the terminal:

Computing OpenFace features /app/raw_data/subj02_timepoint01.mp4 from video file
ERROR:root:Failed to run OpenFace on /app/raw_data/subj02_timepoint01.mp4
Command '['pkg/open_dbm/OpenFace/build/bin/FeatureExtraction', '-q', '-2Dfp', '-3Dfp', '-pdmparams', '-pose', '-aus', '-gaze', '-f', '/app/raw_data/subj02_timepoint01.mp4', '-out_dir', '/app/output/raw_variables/subj02_timepoint01/subj02_timepoint01_openface']' returned non-zero exit status 1.
I'm attaching text files with the docker installation output, as well as the full output of the process_dbm.sh command.

Thanks - John

Hi John, thank you for your message and for posting this issue! To the best of my knowledge, this has been identified as a Mac OS-specific issue only. As we seek a robust solution a possible stop-gap in the meantime is to try your workflow with Ubuntu or Windows.
To help manage expectations, our team is improving upon the system design of OpenDBM in general, which will include solution to this issue (_along with more enhancements_🙂) but will also be blocked until we acquire the proper resource to do the rearchitecting. Thank you again for your patience as we prioritize resolving this. I will be sure to keep you posted on this thread with more information as we investigate it further. Cheers!

Hi! During the installation process on Mac OS X my terminal has messaged executor failed running [/bin/sh -c su -c ./install.sh]: exit code: 1 . Could you please help me with that issue, it would be pretty nice!

Hi @MedicalEnvironment, sorry for the delay, and thank you for raising this issue! This is the same issue raised by John. Overall, OpenFace has dependency issues that block our Mac OS user from installing OpenDBM successfully. As a temporary solution, while we fix these dependency issues for OpenDBM users, you can install OpenDBM in Ubuntu and Windows OS.
The good news is that we have now allocated a resource dedicated to resolving this issue. They are in the design phase right now. Thank you!
