Heterogeneous Face Recognition¶
The goal of this package is to provide an “easy to reproduce” set of experiments in HETEROGENEOUS face recognition databases. This package is an extension of the bob.bio.base framework.
Installation¶
The installation instructions are based on conda (LINUX ONLY). Please install conda before continuing.
After everything installed do:
$ conda install bob.bio.htface
$ bob bio htface --help
If you want to DEVELOP this package, follow below one possible set of instructions:
$ git clone https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.bio.htface
$ cd bob.bio.htface
$ conda env create -f environment.yml
$ source activate bob.bio.htface # activate the environment
$ buildout
Warning
Before the magic begins, it’s necessary to set a set of paths for the databases. Sorry, but there is no other way. Please, edit this file according to your own working environment:
$ vim ~/.bobrc
Follow below how this file looks like:

Sorry, but there is no other way, you have to set all these things
The task¶
The task of Heterogeneous Face Recognition consists in matching face images that are sensed in different domains, such as sketches to photographs (visual spectra images), thermal images to photographs or near-infrared images to photographs.
