Bob 2.0 implementation of the biometrics evaluation metrics for anti-spoofing methods

This algorithm is a legacy one. The API has changed since its implementation. New versions and forks will need to be updated.
This algorithm is an analyzer. It can only be used on analysis blocks.

Algorithms have at least one input and one output. All algorithm endpoints are organized in groups. Groups are used by the platform to indicate which inputs and outputs are synchronized together. The first group is automatically synchronized with the channel defined by the block in which the algorithm is deployed.

Group: test

Endpoint Name Data Format Nature
scores_test system/float/1 Input
label_test system/text/1 Input

Group: dev

Endpoint Name Data Format Nature
scores_dev system/float/1 Input
label_dev system/text/1 Input

Analyzers may produce any number of results. Once experiments using this analyzer are done, you may display the results or filter experiments using criteria based on them.

An algorithm that implements standard metrics for antispoofing evaluation.

Specifically, it outputs, for the development set, the following quantities:

  • eer: the equal error rate
  • threshold: the threshold at the equal error rate
  • dev_far: the false acceptance rate
  • dev_frr: the false rejection rate
  • dev_positives: the number of genuine samples
  • dev_negatives: the number of spoofing attack samples
  • dev_roc: the receiver operating characteristic curve
  • dev_scores: the score distribution for all samples on the set

And for the test set:

  • hter: the half total error rate, calculated on the EER
  • test_far: the false acceptance rate
  • test_frr: the false rejection rate
  • test_positives: the number of genuine samples
  • test_negatives: the number of spoofing attack samples
  • test_roc: the receiver operating characteristic curve
  • test_scores: the score distribution for all samples on the set

This implementation relies on the 'measure' package from the Bob library. In particular, you may check the package bob.measure for more details.
