Cascade Classifier {#tutorial_cascade_classifier}
==================
Goal
----
In this tutorial you will learn how to:
- Use the @ref cv::CascadeClassifier class to detect objects in a video stream. Particularly, we
will use the functions:
2014-11-28 00:54:13 +08:00
- @ref cv::CascadeClassifier::load to load a .xml classifier file. It can be either a Haar or a LBP classifer
- @ref cv::CascadeClassifier::detectMultiScale to perform the detection.

Be sure the program will find the path of files *haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml* and
*haarcascade_eye_tree_eyeglasses.xml* . They are located in
2014-11-27 20:39:05 +08:00
*opencv/data/haarcascades*
2014-11-28 21:21:28 +08:00
-# This is the result of using the file *lbpcascade_frontalface.xml* (LBP trained) for the face
2014-11-27 20:39:05 +08:00
detection. For the eyes we keep using the file used in the tutorial.
