Hello everyone, 

I´m a psychology PhD student from Heidelberg, Germany. My team and I are just about to implement OpenFace in a large study on borderline personality disorders. Therefore, I got two questions: 

- Is a baseline measure of the "resting face" needed in order to get valid outcome measures? 

- Was previous research able to find any age differences concerning facial recognition with OpenFace? (eg. Is there a difference between younger and older individuals showing the same emotion? And if so, does OpenFace still recognise it as the same expression?)

Cheers, 

Sophia

There are, unfortunately, two independent projects named openface. They were both started around the same time, and to add to the overall confusion, I believe both originated at CMU.

This one, cmusatyalab/openface is an opensource face recognition system using deep neural networks.

The other one, I believe, tries to categorize facial expressions/emotions, and I believe that is the one who would probably know a better answer to your questions.

right, I should have seen that before! 

Thank you so much for the quick response.
