Cannot connect to X server

I got this error:

----- info ----- [i] The config file: ./cfg/yolov3-face.cfg [i] The weights of model file: ./model-weights/yolov3-wider_16000.weights [i] Path to image file: samples/outside_000001.jpg [i] Path to video file: ###########################################################

If you are using google colab, then it is the problem, because the inside file contains showing some windows and video capturing, which are services not allowed in google colab, try to edit the file to make it run with any named windows or webcam captures.

You need to comment/remove all the cv2.windows commands as colab doesn't allow these optional window graphics. These following lines of code were changed for running yoloface on images:

def _main():

wind_name = 'face detection using YOLOv3'

#cv2.namedWindow(wind_name, cv2.WINDOW_NORMAL)

    #cv2.imshow(wind_name, frame)

    #key = cv2.waitKey(1)
    #if key == 27 or key == ord('q'):
    #    print('[i] ==> Interrupted by user!')
    #    break

#cap.release()
#cv2.destroyAllWindows()

@Vivek-23-Titan thanks, that's work on command line vps. There is a way to get only the metadata of pixels position through command line? Great project.

@Classsic , I am no expert but I think, I found something useful on this.

Here, the meta data of an image is converted in a dictionary format. Hope this helps!
