xfacereclib.paper.BeFIT2012 1.0.0

Installation

The installation of this package relies on the BuildOut system. By default, the command line sequence:

$ python bootstrap.py
$ bin/buildout

should download and install most requirements, including the FaceRecLib, the Database interface packages for the BANCA database and the Good, the Bad & the Ugly database, and, finally, the Wrapper classes for the CSU Face Recognition Resources. Unfortunately, some packages must be installed manually:

$ bin/buildout

Documentation

After installing you might want to create the documentation for this satellite package, which includes more detailed information on how to re-run the experiments and regenerate the scientific plots from the paper. To generate and open the documentation execute:

$ bin/sphinx-build docs sphinx
$ firefox sphinx/index.html

Of course, you can use any web browser of your choice.
