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

Keyword Parameters:

protocol

One of the SCFace protocols (‘combined’, ‘close’, ‘medium’, ‘far’)

purposes

The purposes required to be retrieved (‘enroll’, ‘probe’, ‘world’) 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” group.

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.

groups

One of the groups (‘dev’, ‘eval’, ‘world’) 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.

subworld

Specify a split of the world data (“onethird”, “twothirds”, “”) In order to be considered, “world” should be in groups and only one split should be specified.

distances

Specify the subject-camera distance as an integral value. Possible values: (3: close, 2:medium, 1:far)

Returns: A list of Files with the given properties

tobjects(protocol=None, model_ids=None, groups=None)

Returns a set of Files for enrolling T-norm models for score

normalization.

Keyword Parameters:

protocol

One of the SCFace protocols (‘combined’, ‘close’, ‘medium’, ‘far’)

model_ids

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

groups

Ignored.

Returns: A set of Files with the given properties

zobjects(protocol=None, model_ids=None, groups=None, distances=None)

Returns a set of Files to perform Z-norm score normalization.

Keyword Parameters:

protocol

One of the SCFace protocols (‘combined’, ‘close’, ‘medium’, ‘far’)

model_ids

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

groups

Ignored.

distances

Specify the subject-camera distance as an integral value. Possible values: (3: close, 2:medium, 1:far)

Returns: A set of Files

annotations(file)

Returns the annotations for the image with the given file id.

Keyword Parameters:

file

The File object to retrieve the annotations for.

Returns: the eye annotations as a dictionary {‘reye’:(y,x), ‘leye’:(y,x), ‘mouth’:(y,x), ‘nose’:(y,x)}.

protocol_names()

Returns all registered protocol names

protocols()

Returns all registered protocols

has_protocol(name)

Tells if a certain protocol is available
