I am trying to make a face detection software using OpenCV 2.3.0. While OpenCV 2.4 has the face recognizer class 2.3.0 is devoid of this feature. I checked the documentation and is specifies that the detectMultiScale function has the following declaration
void CascadeClassifier::detectMultiScale(const Mat& image, vector<Rect>& objects, double
scaleFactor=1.1, int minNeighbors=3, int flags=0, Size minSize=Size())
Now I am giving the image, that is the camera feed, but don't know what to fill in vector block. Here is the code that I have written.
#include "cv.h"
#include "highgui.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include<iostream>
using namespace cv;
using namespace std;
int main()
{
std::vector<Rect> faces;
VideoCapture cap(0);
if(!cap.isOpened())
cout<<"Camera is not connected"<<endl;
cv::CascadeClassifier* cascade=0;
if(cascade.empty())
return -1;
Mat edges;
namedWindow("Camera Feed",1);
for(;;)
{
Mat frame;
cap >> frame;
imshow("Camera Feed", frame);
if(waitKey(10)==27)
break;
cascade.detectMultiScale(frame,faces);
}
return 0;
}
Question: How to proceed further?
go through Docs OpenCV. check here for detail example
void detectAndDisplay( Mat frame )
{
std::vector<Rect> faces;
Mat frame_gray;
cvtColor( frame, frame_gray, CV_BGR2GRAY );
equalizeHist( frame_gray, frame_gray );
//-- Detect faces
face_cascade.detectMultiScale( frame_gray, faces, 1.1, 2, 0|CV_HAAR_SCALE_IMAGE, Size(30, 30) );
for( int i = 0; i < faces.size(); i++ )
{
Point center( faces[i].x + faces[i].width*0.5, faces[i].y + faces[i].height*0.5 );
ellipse( frame, center, Size( faces[i].width*0.5, faces[i].height*0.5), 0, 0, 360, Scalar( 255, 0, 255 ), 4, 8, 0 );
Mat faceROI = frame_gray( faces[i] );
std::vector<Rect> eyes;
//-- In each face, detect eyes
eyes_cascade.detectMultiScale( faceROI, eyes, 1.1, 2, 0 |CV_HAAR_SCALE_IMAGE, Size(30, 30) );
for( int j = 0; j < eyes.size(); j++ )
{
Point center( faces[i].x + eyes[j].x + eyes[j].width*0.5, faces[i].y + eyes[j].y + eyes[j].height*0.5 );
int radius = cvRound( (eyes[j].width + eyes[j].height)*0.25 );
circle( frame, center, radius, Scalar( 255, 0, 0 ), 4, 8, 0 );
}
}
//-- Show what you got
imshow( window_name, frame );
}
hope this will help you
