BOB is born
Document Actions
After a bit less than 2 years of intense development, Idiap Research Institute is proud to announce the immediate availability of Bob 1.0 as an open-source project.
Bob has distant roots from Torch3vision ( http://torch3vision.idiap.ch ), a variant of Torch ( http://www.torch.ch/torch3 ), which was/is a framework for machine learning, initially developed at the Idiap Research Institute ( http://www.idiap.ch ) in Switzerland. It diverged from Torch in its infancy to become a completely independent project focused primarily on tools for biometrics, forensics, machine learning and signal processing.
You can go to the homepage at http://idiap.github.com/bob/ and fetch source code or pre-compiled binaries for various platforms. We will be pleased to hear about your success stories and problems through our mailing list. And, please, do spread the news through your circles!
About Bob
Bob is a free signal-processing and machine learning toolbox originally developed by the Biometrics group at Idiap Research Institute, Switzerland. The toolbox is written in a mix of Python and C++ and is designed to be both efficient and reduce development time.
