 UVAD Database Access in Bob
=================================

This package provides an interface to the Unicamp Video-Attack Database
(`UVAD`_) database. The original data files need to be downloaded separately.
After you have downloaded the dataset, you need to configure bob.db.uvad to
find the dataset::

    $ bob config set bob.db.uvad.directory /path/to/downloaded/dataset

If you use this database, please cite the following publication::
