Meet Bob, Idiap’s toolbox latest release
To stay relevant and efficient, a toolbox must be up-to-date. This is particularly true if the toolbox is the barebones of research work. Bob is such a Swiss knife for fields related to machine learning, pattern recognition, and signal processing. To keep the pace with currents needs, Idiap’s researchers just released a new version of Bob, which includes:
- Improved GIF and PBM reading in bob.io.image
- Moved to ffmpeg 4 in bob.io.video
- Implemented Expectation Maximization with multiprocessing in bob.learn.em
- Added a threading option to the GMM algorithm in bob.bio.gmm
- Added a cross database testing evaluation with a new command bob pad cross in bob.pad.base
- bob.bio.video!37 Keep the order of FrameContainers when saving (breaking change)
And a lot more features and bug fixes. For the full log, please see: https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob/tags/v6.0.0
The Bob toolbox is a development joint effort of the Biometrics security & privacy group, the Biosignal processing group, and the Research & development engineers from Idiap.
