class DCTBlocks (Extractor):

  """Extracts *Discrete Cosine Transform* (DCT) features from (overlapping) image blocks.
  These features are based on the :py:class:`bob.ip.base.DCTFeatures` class.
  The default parametrization is the one that performed best on the BANCA database in [WMM+11]_.

  Usually, these features are used in combination with the algorithms defined in :ref:`bob.bio.gmm <bob.bio.gmm>`.
  However, you can try to use them with other algorithms.

  **Parameters:**

  block_size : int or (int, int)
    The size of the blocks that will be extracted.
    This parameter might be either a single integral value, or a pair ``(block_height, block_width)`` of integral values.

  block_overlap : int or (int, int)
    The overlap of the blocks in vertical and horizontal direction.
    This parameter might be either a single integral value, or a pair ``(block_overlap_y, block_overlap_x)`` of integral values.
    It needs to be smaller than the ``block_size``.

  number_of_dct_coefficients : int
    The number of DCT coefficients to use.
    The actual number will be one less since the first DCT coefficient (which should be 0, if normalization is used) will be removed.

  normalize_blocks : bool
    Normalize the values of the blocks to zero mean and unit standard deviation before extracting DCT coefficients.

  normalize_dcts : bool
    Normalize the values of the DCT components to zero mean and unit standard deviation. Default is ``True``.
