face-alignment

face-alignment copied to clipboard

Hi, when I import face_alignment module and use face_alignment.FaceAlignment(). It starts to download pre-trained CNN model. However, it 's pretty slow. Would you like to share the model file in Github?

Thank you, sincerely.

Hi @Alan-xw the servers are located in UK so depending on your location this may affect your speed. Someone uploaded them here: https://github.com/1adrianb/face-alignment/issues/62

If you still encounter issues, let me know and I will try hosting them somewhere else.

Thanks for help. I download FAN model files from #62 . However, the s3fd_convert.pth model file is also pretty slow to download from the servers.

the same porblem with downloading of 'https://www.adrianbulat.com/downloads/python-fan/s3fd-619a316812.pth'

@lastapple I am really sorry for the inconvenience, depending on your geographical location the download speed will vary indeed. From my tests this appears to mostly be an issue with certain internet providers from China (see server speed bellow). At the moment I have no option for hosting it there. If someone can rehost them there and share the link with the rest that may be useful for the affected people.
