* An example using Gabor jets and a Gabor-phase based similarity function
* An example building an UBM/GMM model on top of DCT blocks.
+Requirements
+------------
+
To use this example, you will require Bob and the AT&T database.
-If you do not have a Bob version yet, you can get it from http://www.idiap.ch/software/bob.
+The AT&T database
+.................
The AT&T image database is quite small, but sufficient to show how the face verification methods work.
Still, the results may not be meaningful.
One good thing about the AT&T database is that it is freely available.
You can download it from http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/attarchive/facedatabase.html.
+Bob

+If you do not have a Bob version yet, you can get it from http://www.idiap.ch/software/bob.
+
+If your Bob version is not installed globally or not in the default path, you have to edit the *buildout.cfg* file in the root directory of this package.
+In the ``[buildout]`` section, please add a line ``prefixes = <BOB_INSTALL_DIRECTORY>``, where ``<BOB_INSTALL_DIRECTORY>`` points to the root directory of your local Bob installation.
+
+.. note::
+ If you are at Idiap, Bob is installed globally, so there is no need to specify the ``prefixes``, unless you want to use another version of it.
