========================================
Scripts to run anti-spoofing experiments
========================================

This package is part of the ``bob.pad`` packages, which allow to run comparable and reproducible presentation attack detection (PAD) experiments on publicly available databases.

This package contains basic functionality to run PAD experiments.
It provides a generic ``./bin/spoof.py`` script that takes several parameters, including:

* A database and its evaluation protocol
* A data preprocessing algorithm
* A feature extraction algorithm
* A PAD algorithm

All these steps of the PAD system are given as configuration files.

In this base class implementation, only a core functionality is implemented. The specialized algorithms should be provided by other packages, which are usually in the ``bob.pad`` namespace, such as:

* `bob.pad.voice for speech-related PAD algorithms
