4.23 How to detect faces in an image in OpenCV?
The following SolObjectDetector is a simple example to detect faces, eyes, and bodies by using
CascadeClassifier class of OpenCV.
In the latest OpenCV3.2.0, the following two types of cascade classifiers are available:
Harr Feature-based Cascade Classifier
LBP(Local binary pattern) Cascade Classifier
For example, you can find folders including these classifier files under the folder "C:\opencv3.2\build\etc".
You need the following operations to use this program.
1 Select a folder which contains Harr or LBP cascade classifiers by using a folder selection dialog.
2 Select a cascade classifier xml file in a combobox.
3 Open a target image file by using a file open dialog which can be popped up by Open menu item.
4 Click Detect pushbutton.
This SolObjectDetector is a simple and elementary GUI tool, but may be useful to evaluate characteristics of
cascade classifiers for various images. Of course, this is far from simple in comparison with OpenCV HighGUI system,
which you can start to use by learning only three APIs: cv::readimage, cvNamedWindow and cv::showImage.
Selection of a cascade classifier xml file in a combobox.
In this program, we use detectMultiScale method of cv::CascadeClassifier class to detect faces from cv::Mat image
by using a seleccted classifier xml file path in the following way. See detect method of SimpleView.
CascadeClassifier classifier;
classifier.load(path);
cv::vector faces;
classifier.detectMultiScale(image, faces, 1.1, 3, 0, cv::Size(20,20));
Face detection of a cat.
Face and eyes detection of a mannequin.
Eyes detection of a Nioh.
