User’s Guide

This package contains the access API and descriptions for the FARGO Database. It only contains the Bob accessor methods to use the DB directly from python, with our certified protocols. The actual raw data for the dataset should be downloaded from the original URL.

Extracting images from the original data

Since this package contains protocols to load different set of images in different modalities, you should first extract images from the raw data (i.e. recorded video sequences). You can do so by using the provided scripts:

> bob_db_fargo_extract_images_frontal.py path/to/data -i ./images
> bob_db_fargo_extract_images_pos_varying_images.py path/to/data -i ./images

where path/to/data/ is the location of the subjects folder of the database. This will extract all the images you need in the ./images directory.
