gpu::CascadeClassifier_GPU::empty
-------------------------------------
.. cpp:function:: bool gpu::CascadeClassifier_GPU::empty() const

    Checks whether the classifier is loaded or not.

    :param filename: Name of the file from which the classifier is loaded. Only the old ``haar`` classifier (trained by the ``haar`` training application) and NVIDIA's ``nvbin`` are supported.

.. index:: gpu::CascadeClassifier_GPU::release

.. index:: gpu::CascadeClassifier_GPU::detectMultiScale

------------------------------------------------
.. cpp:function:: int gpu::CascadeClassifier_GPU::detectMultiScale(const GpuMat\& image, GpuMat\& objectsBuf, double scaleFactor=1.2, int minNeighbors=4, Size minSize=Size())

    Detects objects of different sizes in the input image. The detected objects are returned as a list of rectangles.

    :param image: Matrix of type  ``CV_8U``  containing an image where objects should be detected.

    :param objects: Buffer to store detected objects (rectangles). If it is empty, it is allocated with the default size. If not empty, the function searches not more than N objects, where ``N = sizeof(objectsBufer's data)/sizeof(cv::Rect)``.

    :param scaleFactor: Value to specify how much the image size is reduced at each image scale.

    :param minNeighbors: Value to specify how many neighbours each candidate rectangle has to retain.

    :param minSize: Minimum possible object size. Objects smaller than that are ignored.

    The function returns the number of detected objects, so you can retrieve them as in the following example: 
::

    gpu::CascadeClassifier_GPU cascade_gpu(...);

    Mat image_cpu = imread(...)
    GpuMat image_gpu(image_cpu);

    GpuMat objbuf;
    int detections_number = cascade_gpu.detectMultiScale( image_gpu,
              objbuf, 1.2, minNeighbors);

    Mat obj_host;
    // download only detected number of rectangles
    objbuf.colRange(0, detections_number).download(obj_host);

    Rect* faces = obj_host.ptr<Rect>();
    for(int i = 0; i < detections_num; ++i)
       cv::rectangle(image_cpu, faces[i], Scalar(255));

    imshow("Faces", image_cpu);
