questions regarding training

[seanko29]

Hello,

Why is ur dataset composed of txt files not image files? Can you use image files (ex. FF++ c40 DF,F2F..) as an input instead of txt files?

Hello, Our model is not trained in an end-to-end fashion. It firstly extracts landmarks sequence from image files, which generates the txt files. And the subsequent training and inference are only performed on these txt files. Therefore we also provide them for convenience. Besides, you can also use your own landmark detector to generate the landmarks as input. For more details, you can refer to readme.md and our paper. Thanks 😄!
