The LFW annotations provided on the biometric resources cannot be read by the current LFW database implementation
In the current implementation of the LFW database, there are two ways on how to read the annotations:
-
funneled: https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.bio.face/-/blob/ead8c069bafb4024dc15c5df7fdc878aec8bd5f0/bob/bio/face/database/lfw.py#L151 -
idiap: https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.db.lfw/-/blob/5ac22c5b77aae971de6b73cbe23f26d6a5632072/bob/db/lfw/models.py#L81
However, it is not clear how we can obtain the annotations in these formats. On the other hand, the Biometric Resources page https://www.idiap.ch/webarchives/sites/www.idiap.ch/resource/biometric/ provides annotations in a format that previously has been termed named. Unfortunately, there is no implementation for reading this format.
