Description: Face verification using Bob
        ===========================
        
        .. note::
          If you are reading this page through our GitHub portal and not through PyPI, note the development tip of the package may not be stable or become unstable in a matter of moments.
        
          Go to http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bob.example.faceverify to download the latest stable version of this package.
        
        Overview
        --------
        
        This example demonstrates how to use Bob to build different face verification systems.
        It includes examples with three different complexities:
        
        * A simple eigenface based example
        * An example using Gabor jets and a Gabor-phase based similarity function
        * An example building an UBM/GMM model on top of DCT blocks.
        
        Requirements
        ------------
        
        To use this example, you will require Bob and the AT&T database.
        
        The AT&T database
        .................
        The AT&T image database is quite small, but sufficient to show how the face verification methods work.
        Still, the results may not be meaningful.
        One good thing about the AT&T database is that it is freely available.
        You can download it from http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/attarchive/facedatabase.html.
        
        Bob
        ...
        If you do not have a Bob version yet, you can get it from http://www.idiap.ch/software/bob.
        
        If your Bob version is not installed globally or not in the default path, you have to edit the *buildout.cfg* file in the root directory of this package.
        In the ``[buildout]`` section, please add a line ``prefixes = <BOB_INSTALL_DIRECTORY>``, where ``<BOB_INSTALL_DIRECTORY>`` points to the root directory of your local Bob installation.
        
        .. note::
          If you are at Idiap, Bob is installed globally, so there is no need to specify the ``prefixes``, unless you want to use another version of it.
        
        
        
        Download
        --------
        
        Finally, to download this package, you can extract the .zip file from the link below, or you open a shell in a directory of your choice and call::
        
          $ wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/b/bob.example.faceverify/bob.example.faceverify-<version>.zip
          $ unzip bob.example.faceverify-<version>.zip
          $ cd bob.example.faceverify-<version>
        
        where <version> should be replaced with a (the current) version of this package, or you can clone our git repository::
        
          $ git clone https://github.com/bioidiap/bob.example.faceverify.git
          $ cd bob.example.faceverify
        
        Afterwards, please call::
        
          $ python bootstrap.py
          $ ./bin/buildout
        
        to generate the scripts that, amongst others, will run the face verification algorithms. For more details, please refer to the documentation, which you might create and open yourself by::
        
          $ ./bin/sphinx-build doc sphinx
          $ firefox sphinx/index.html
        
        (or use any other browser of your choice).
        
        If you have questions to or problems with this package, please send a request to bob-devel@googlegroups.com, or file a bug under https://github.com/bioidiap/bob.example.faceverify/issues.
