Hi,

First of all, thank you very much for your program.

My first question is : I want to estimate the gaze of my own picture (with 1, 2 or 3 persons). Does your program do this ? because I don't understand how to use it at all ? Sorry I'm new in coding.

Secondly, I have install ptgaze on my virtual machine (Virtual Box) with Ubuntu20.04 in it and I have tried to run this line code :

python3 -m ptgaze --config /.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ptgaze/data/configs/mpiifacegaze.yaml

but it return me this :

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.8/runpy.py", line 194, in _run_module_as_main return _run_code(code, main_globals, None, File "/usr/lib/python3.8/runpy.py", line 87, in _run_code exec(code, runglobals) File "/home/cyril/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ptgaze/main.py", line 3, in ptgaze.main.main() File "/home/cyril/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ptgaze/main.py", line 129, in main config = OmegaConf.load(args.config) File "/home/cyril/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/omegaconf/omegaconf.py", line 183, in load with io.open(os.path.abspath(file), "r", encoding="utf-8") as f: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ptgaze/data/configs/mpiifacegaze.yaml'

but this FILE EXIST in this path... I really don't understand what to do after installing ptgaze to use it on my picture...

It's been 4 full days of work....

Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi, @CyrilGatino

My first question is : I want to estimate the gaze of my own picture (with 1, 2 or 3 persons). Does your program do this ?

Yes, this program can do it. For example, in my environment, when I run the following command, I get the image below:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hysts/pytorch_mpiigaze_demo/master/assets/inputs/image02.jpg
ptgaze --mode eth-xgaze --face-detector face_alignment_sfd --image image02.jpg -o out

As for the second point, your config path seems to be incorrect. You are specifying the path /.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ptgaze/data/configs/mpiifacegaze.yaml, but I think it should be ~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ptgaze/data/configs/mpiifacegaze.yaml. The difference is ~. I think this link would help you understand what it is.

Hi @Hyst !

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your fast answer.

Everything works as you says.

I have just one more question, when you say in the readme page : "to train MPiigaze" it means that if I train the MPIIgaze with the database it will be better to detect eye's gaze of my own pictures ?

Thank you very much

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but what I meant in the README is that there is a dataset called MPIIGaze dataset, and this repo can be used to train a model with the dataset.
