extractor and preprocessor templates

[Y Wang]

Hi, 

I'd like to write my own extractor (I have model locally) and preprocessor, but I checked the code in the gitlab, and I cannot understand them. It seems there are many APIs, and there is no documentation about how to write them. 

Do you have any template or do you have any files that explain the code? Thank you

There is documentation available at several levels. The source code in GitLab itself is not the best reference to start. You should rather consider to read the online documentation first.

For general biometric recognition experiments, you should carefully read the documentation here: https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/docs/bob/docs/stable/bob/bob.bio.base/doc/index.html

On how to create your own extractor or preprocessor, they should be implemented as transformers: https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/docs/bob/docs/stable/bob/bob.bio.base/doc/vanilla_biometrics_intro.html#transformer

For Preprocessing, you might want to have a look into on preprocessor for faces: https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/docs/bob/docs/stable/bob/bob.bio.face/doc/implemented.html#bob.bio.face.preprocessor.FaceCrop
