The 3DMAD Database accessors for Bob

bob.db.maskattack.get_config()

Returns a string containing the configuration information.

class bob.db.maskattack.Client(client_id, dataset)

Bases: sqlalchemy.ext.declarative.api.Base

Database clients, marked by an integer identifier and the set they belong to

set_choices = ('world', 'dev', 'test')

Possible groups to which clients may belong to

id

Key identifier for clients

set

Set to which this client belongs to

class bob.db.maskattack.Database(original_directory=None, original_extension=None)

Bases: bob.db.base.SQLiteDatabase

The dataset class opens and maintains a connection opened to the Database.

It provides many different ways to probe for the characteristics of the data and for the data itself inside the database.

sets()

Returns the names of all registered sets

clients(protocol=None, sets=None)

Returns a set of clients for the specific query by the user.

Keyword Parameters:

protocol

The protocol to consider (‘verification’,)

sets

The sets to which the clients belong (‘world’, ‘dev’, ‘test’)

Returns: A list containing all the clients which have the given properties.

has_client_id(id)

Returns True if we have a client with a certain integer identifier

protocols()

Returns all protocol objects.

has_protocol(name)

Tells if a certain protocol is available

protocol(name)

Returns the protocol object in the database given a certain name. Raises an error if that does not exist.

protocol_names()

Returns all registered protocol names

protocol_purposes()

Returns all registered protocol purposes

purposes()

Returns the list of allowed purposes

fileID_to_clientID(id)

Returns the client ID of the given file ID

fileID_to_session(id)

Returns the client ID of the given file ID

fileID_to_shot(id)

Returns the client ID of the given file ID

objects(protocol=None, purposes=None, client_ids=None, sets=None, classes=None, groups=None)

Returns a set of filenames for the specific query by the user.

Keyword Parameters:

protocol One of the 3DMAD protocols (‘verification’, ‘’).

purposes The purposes required to be retrieved (‘enrol’, ‘probeReal’, ‘probeMask’, ‘train’) or a tuple with several of them. If ‘None’ is given (this is the default), it is considered the same as a tuple with all possible values. This field is ignored for the data from the “world” set.

model_ids Only retrieves the files for the provided list of model ids (claimed client id). The model ids are string. If ‘None’ is given (this is the default), no filter over the model_ids is performed.

sets One of the sets (‘world’, ‘dev’, ‘test’) or a tuple with several of them. If ‘None’ is given (this is the default), it is considered the same as a tuple with all possible values.

classes The classes (types of accesses) to be retrieved (‘client’, ‘impostor’) or a tuple with several of them. If ‘None’ is given (this is the default), it is considered the same as a tuple with all possible values.

Returns: A list of files which have the given properties.

class bob.db.maskattack.File(client_id, path, session, shot)

Bases: sqlalchemy.ext.declarative.api.Base, bob.db.base.File

Generic file container

id

Key identifier for files

client

A direct link to the client object that this file belongs to

client_id

The client identifier to which this file is bound to

path

The (unique) path to this file inside the database

session

The session identifier in which the data for this file was taken

shot

The shot identifier in which the data for this file was taken

is_real()

videofile(directory=None)

Returns the path to the database video file for this object Keyword parameters: directory: An optional directory name that will be prefixed to the returned result.

Returns a string containing the video file path.

facefile(directory='')

eyes(directory=None)

make_path(directory=None, extension='.hdf5')

Wraps the current path so that a complete path is formed

Keyword parameters:

directory

An optional directory name that will be prefixed to the returned result.

extension

An optional extension that will be suffixed to the returned filename. The extension normally includes the leading . character as in .jpg or .hdf5.

Returns a string containing the newly generated file path.

load(directory=None, extension='.hdf5', isdepth=True, iseye=True)

Loads the data at the specified location and using the given extension.

Keyword parameters:

data

The data blob to be saved (normally a numpy.ndarray).

directory

[optional] If not empty or None, this directory is prefixed to the final file destination

extension

[optional] The extension of the filename - this will control the type of output and the codec for saving the input blob.

save(data, directory=None, extension='.hdf5')

Saves the input data at the specified location and using the given extension.

Keyword parameters:

data

The data blob to be saved (normally a numpy.ndarray).

directory

[optional] If not empty or None, this directory is prefixed to the final file destination

extension

[optional] The extension of the filename - this will control the type of output and the codec for saving the input blob.

class bob.db.maskattack.Protocol(name)

Bases: sqlalchemy.ext.declarative.api.Base

Mask attack protocol

id

Unique identifier for the protocol (integer)

name

Protocol name
