===================================================
 Exemplary Face Verification Experiments Using Bob
===================================================

This example demonstrates how to use Bob_ to build three different face verification systems.
It includes examples with three different complexities:

* A simple eigenface based example
* An example using Gabor jets in a grid graph
* An example building an UBM/GMM model on top of DCT blocks.

The face verification experiments are executed using the protocols for the `AT&T`_  database implemented in :ref:`bob.db.atnt <bob.db.atnt>`.
However, the code is set up such that it will work with any other of the :ref:`verification_databases` as well.

.. warning::
   The `AT&T`_ database is a toy database that is perfectly useful for this example, but **not** to publish scientific papers.
