Annotating biometric databases

It is often required to annotate the biometric samples before running experiments. This often happens in face biometrics where each face is detected and the location of landmarks on the face is saved before running experiments.

To facilitate the process of annotating a new database, this package provides a command-line script:

$ bob bio annotate --help

This script accepts two main parameters a database object that inherits from bob.bio.base.pipelines.Database and an annotator object that inherits from bob.bio.base.annotator.Annotator. Please see the help message of the script for more information.

The script can also be run in parallel using Dask:

$ bob bio annotate /path/to/config.py --dask-client sge

You can find the list of readily available annotator configurations using the resources.py command:

$ resources.py --types annotator
