The BoundingBoxAnnotatorCrop cropper uses a 2 stage strategy to crop and align faces in case annotation_type has a bounding-box.
In the first stage, it crops the face using the {topleft, bottomright} parameters and expands them using a margin factor.
In the second stage, it uses the annotator to estimate {leye and reye} to make the crop using :py:class:bob.ip.base.FaceEyesNorm.
In case the annotator doesn't work, it returns the cropped face using the bounding-box coordinates.
It's being a while that I wanted to put this in place.
Follow the impact of this on the test1 IJB-C protocol (old 1:1) and on the test4 protocols (open-set identification protocols)

Do you have sometime to review this one @lcolbois ?
Thanks
