====================================================================
 Scripts to run score fusion in biometric recognition experiments
====================================================================

This package is part of the ``bob.fusion`` packages, which allow to run comparable and reproducible score fusion in biometric recognition experiments.

This package contains basic functionality to run score fusion in biometric recognition experiments.
It provides a generic ``./bin/fuse.py`` script that takes several parameters, including:

* A list of score files
* A classification algorithm
* A list of preprocessors.

All these steps of the score fusion in biometric recognition system are given as configuration files.
