Bob is a free signal-processing and machine learning toolbox originally developed by the Biometrics group at the Idiap Research Institute, Switzerland.

The toolbox is written in Python and is designed to be both efficient and reduce development time. It is composed of a reasonably large number of packages that implement tools for image, audio & video processing, machine learning & pattern recognition, and a lot more task specific packages.

Please visit our website for more information.

This package does nothing by itself. You should not need to install it, it will be installed as dependency of the utility package you use like bob.bio.face.

The bob packages are developed using idiap-devtools. Please refer to their documentation for release procedures.
