Testing and improving <cascade>

<cascade> is an XML file that is compatible with the constructor for OpenCV's CascadeClassifier class. For an example of how to use CascadeClassifier, refer back to our implementation of FaceTracker in Chapter 4, Tracking Faces with Haar Cascades. By copying and modifying FaceTracker and Cameo, you should be able to create a simple test application that draws rectangles around tracked instances of your custom target.

Perhaps in your first attempts at cascade training, you will not get reliable tracking results. To improve your training results, do the following:

  • Consider making your classification problem more specific. For example, a bald, shaven, male face without glasses cascade might be easier to train than ...
