Saving and Loading a FaceRecognizer
===================================
Introduction
------------
Saving and loading a :ocv:class:`FaceRecognizer` is very important. Training a FaceRecognizer can be a very
time-intense task, plus it's often impossible to ship the whole face database to the user of your product.
The task of saving and loading a FaceRecognizer is easy with :ocv:class:`FaceRecognizer`. You only have to
call :ocv:func:`FaceRecognizer::load` for loading and :ocv:func:`FaceRecognizer::save` for saving a
:ocv:class:`FaceRecognizer`.
I'll adapt the Eigenfaces example from the :doc:`../facerec_tutorial`: Imagine we want to learn the Eigenfaces
of the `AT&T Facedatabase <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/attarchive/facedatabase.html>`_ store the
model to a YAML file and then load it again.
From the loaded model, we'll get a prediction, show the mean, eigenfaces and the image reconstruction.
Using FaceRecognizer::save and FaceRecognizer::load
-----------------------------------------------------
.. literalinclude:: ../src/facerec_save_load.cpp
:language: cpp

Results
-------
``eigenfaces_at.yml`` then contains the model state, we'll simply look at the first 10 lines with ``head eigenfaces_at.yml``:
.. code-block:: none
philipp@mango:~/github/libfacerec-build$ head eigenfaces_at.yml
%YAML:1.0
num_components: 399
mean: !!opencv-matrix
rows: 1
cols: 10304
dt: d
data: [ 8.5558897243107765e+01, 8.5511278195488714e+01,
8.5854636591478695e+01, 8.5796992481203006e+01,
8.5952380952380949e+01, 8.6162907268170414e+01,
8.6082706766917283e+01, 8.5776942355889716e+01,
And here is the Reconstruction, which is the same as the original:
