ofHaartraining App

I am starting down this road to build a haartraining app for OSX. I have been digging around the web and here is what I have found so far:

svn checkout http://tutorial-haartraining.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ tutorial-haartraining-read-only

If anyone has some info or guidance

I’m really curious what this is going to be used for More face-recognition things?

Hi Todd

There are some good tutorials about that, just I´ve look for one and in the opencv forum and I found a reference to this one that looks simple-and-clear. all that is necessary to create samples and do the training is inside the opencv, and it´s true, there are the source inside this folder_\OpenCV\apps\HaarTraining\src_

Also there are this tool to get directly the samples, any way will be so great implement this tool inside Of.

Hope that helps

ahh nice.

So i have been able to compile opencv on osx and creating haarcascade using the opencv executables. The step:

create positive samples (you can do this many ways - multiple images or a single image)
create negative sample (these images can not have the object you are tracking in them)
… some vec/dat things
build a training file.

I wrote a class using an old face tracking app to be just ofxHaarTracking so that you can just load and track haar files. After awhile of piecing many tutorial together I was able to build a haarcascade.xml file

I think that OF will be a killer part in creating the samples for the training. I want to move onto that next. Ohh man this stuff is fun.

Here is what I have so far. Read about it here. I need to bundle this all up and post.

Really nice work!

I just took a look in O’Reilly’s book about OpenCV, and it got a chapter about face detection and Haar Classifier. Haven’t read it, but looks like it got some theory about how it works, and some samples.

Hey - thats crazy dope!
It would be great to have a haar uploader page where people can post their trained haar files.

Nice work!

Supper !! you get it!

Are you going to publish some code? im curios, and It could be so usefully for a lot of people…

Hey Todd, it would be great if you could share code from this project.

Also, Theo: on this page http://gias720.dis.ulpgc.es/Gias/modesto-eng.html there’s a link to a paper that has a great summary of about 20 public domain classifiers (frontal face, profile face, head and shoulders, left, right eye, eye pair, nose, mouth). There are also a few available for download here ftp://mozart.dis.ulpgc.es/pub/Software/HaarClassifiers/FaceFeaturesDetectors.zip

It’s unclear whether those are the ones mentioned in the report, or specially trained classifiers…
