Runtimeerror: Unable To Open Shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat?

I´ve made a project with python OpenCV, and used the shape_predictor_68... a .dat file. Now when I build the project with cx_freeze, everything does right, but when I run the app

Solution 1:

I am also facing the same issue but after some search, I get to know my shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat is not updated or correct so I replace it with another and issue resolved, the link for the new shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat file is https://github.com/AKSHAYUBHAT/TensorFace/blob/master/openface/models/dlib/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat

replace the new file with older one.

Solution 2:

Referring the solution to a similar issue here

If you are getting this error:

RuntimeError: Unable to open /home/lyz/openface-master/demos/web/../../models/dlib/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat

You probably haven't downloaded dlibs models properly, perform Step 4 from https://cmusatyalab.github.io/openface/setup/ again. In short, cd into your openface library and run ./models/get-models.sh

Also, I can't tell how you are running this but it could also be a case that the library may not be correctly imported in your current venv - where your interpreter is.

Solution 3:

Install dlib correctly and just paste this .dat file in the same working directory as your code is present and try to run the code.

The link is http://dlib.net/files/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2

You can find the .dat file here after extracting a WinZip file that can be downloaded from the dlib.net website.
