Basic tools for running biometric recognition experiments
Project description
Scripts to run biometric recognition experiments
This package is part of the bob.bio packages, which allow to run comparable and reproducible biometric recognition experiments on publicly available databases.
This package contains basic functionality to run biometric recognition experiments. It provides a generic ./bin/verify.py script that takes several parameters, including:
A database and its evaluation protocol
A data preprocessing algorithm
A feature extraction algorithm
A biometric recognition algorithm
All these steps of the biometric recognition system are given as configuration files.
In this base class implementation, only a few algorithms (such as PCA, LDA, PLDA, BIC) are implemented, while most algorithms that are more specialized are provided by other packages, which are usually in the bob.bio namespace, such as:
bob.bio.spear for speaker recognition recognition databases, features and algorithms
bob.bio.face for face recognition databases, features and algorithms
bob.bio.video for video-based databases and algorithms
bob.bio.gmm for Gaussian-mixture-model-based algorithms
bob.bio.csu for wrapper classes of the CSU Face Recognition Resources
Moreover, a script for score fusion ./bin/fusion_llr.py is provided to do score-level fusion using Logistic regression to combine outputs from different systems.
Additionally, a generic script ./bin/evaluate.py is provided that can generate several types of plots (such as ROC, DET and CMC curves) and compute several measures (such as HTER, Cllr) to evaluate your experiments.
