==================================
IJB-C Database Interface for Bob
==================================
This package is part of the signal-processing and machine learning toolbox
Bob_. This package contains an interface for the evaluation protocols of the
`IARPA Janus Benchmark C (IJB-C) database`_ and does not contain the original
image data for the database. The original data should be obtained using the
link above.
The IJB-C database is a mixture of frontal and non-frontal images and videos
(provided as single frames) from 1845 different identities. In many of the
images and video frames, there are several people visible, but only the ones
that are annotated with a bounding box should be taken into consideration. For
both model enrollment as well as for probing, images and video frames of one
person are combined into so-called Templates. For some of the protocols, probe
templates are also generated from raw video data.
This package implements the database interface including all its
particularities:
- First, it implements the FileSet protocol, since for some probes, several
files (a mixture of images and/or video frames) are defined. In the
Database.object_sets() function, FileSet objects are only returned for probe
purposes.
- Second, some images contain several identities. Therefore, every physical
image file can be stored in several File objects. Also, the File.make_path()
function can create two different styles of file names: the original file
name (to read original images), or a unique filename (to define a unique name
for each extracted face).
