xbob.db.mobio 1.1.0

Modify your setup.py and download from PyPI

That is the easiest. Edit your setup.py in your satellite package and add the following entry in the install_requires section (note: ... means whatever extra stuff you may have in-between, don’t put that on your script):

install_requires=[
  ...
  "xbob.db.mobio",
],

Proceed normally with your boostrap/buildout steps and you should be all set. That means you can now import the xbob.db.mobio namespace into your scripts.

Modify your buildout.cfg and download from git

You will need to add a dependence to mr.developer to be able to install from our git repositories. Your buildout.cfg file should contain the following lines:

[buildout]
...
extensions = mr.developer
auto-checkout = *
eggs = bob
       ...
       xbob.db.mobio

[sources]
xbob.db.mobio = git https://github.com/bioidiap/xbob.db.mobio.git

MOBIO protocols

There were initially two protocols defined on the Phase 2 of the database, which were called ‘female’ and ‘male’. Later on, the number of protocols has increased, considering the additional data recorded using laptops, which has led to 8 protocols.

The two initial protocols ‘female’ and ‘male’ now correspond to the protocols called ‘mobile0-female’ and ‘mobile0-male’, respectively. The training, development and evaluation sets are indeed identical.

However, if you want to use the same ZT score normalization files as in this publication:

@article{McCool_IET_BMT_2013,
  title = {Session variability modelling for face authentication},
  author = {McCool, Chris and Wallace, Roy and McLaren, Mitchell and El Shafey, Laurent and Marcel, S{\'{e}}bastien},
  month = sep,
  journal = {IET Biometrics},
  volume = {2},
  number = {3},
  year = {2013},
  pages = {117-129},
  issn = {2047-4938},
  doi = {10.1049/iet-bmt.2012.0059},
}

You have to specify optional arguments:

1. `speech_type = 'p'` when calling the `tobjects()` method

2. `speech_type = ['p','r','l','f']` when calling the `zobjects()` method
