.. index:: CascadeClassifier::CascadeClassifier
CascadeClassifier::CascadeClassifier
----------------------------------------
.. cpp:function:: CascadeClassifier::CascadeClassifier(const string\& filename)
Loads a classifier from a file.
:param filename: Name of the file from which the classifier is loaded.
.. index:: CascadeClassifier::empty
CascadeClassifier::empty
----------------------------
.. cpp:function:: bool CascadeClassifier::empty() const
Checks if the classifier has been loaded or not.
.. index:: CascadeClassifier::load
CascadeClassifier::load
---------------------------
.. cpp:function:: bool CascadeClassifier::load(const string\& filename)
Loads a classifier from a file. The previous content is destroyed.
:param filename: Name of the file from which the classifier is loaded. The file may contain an old HAAR classifier (trained by the haartraining application) or new cascade classifier trained traincascade application.
.. index:: CascadeClassifier::read
CascadeClassifier::read
---------------------------
.. cpp:function:: bool CascadeClassifier::read(const FileNode\& node)
Reads a classifier from a FileStorage node. The file may contain a new cascade classifier (trained traincascade application) only.
.. index:: CascadeClassifier::detectMultiScale
CascadeClassifier::detectMultiScale
---------------------------------------
.. cpp:function:: void CascadeClassifier::detectMultiScale( const Mat\& image, vector<Rect>\& objects, double scaleFactor=1.1, int minNeighbors=3, int flags=0, 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 the type ``CV_8U`` containing an image where objects are detected.
:param objects: Vector of rectangles where each rectangle contains the detected object.
:param scaleFactor: Parameter specifying how much the image size is reduced at each image scale.
:param minNeighbors: Parameter specifying how many neighbors each candiate rectangle should have to retain it.
:param flags: Parameter with the same meaning for an old cascade as in the function ``cvHaarDetectObjects``. It is not used for a new cascade.
:param minSize: Minimum possible object size. Objects smaller than that are ignored.
.. index:: CascadeClassifier::setImage
CascadeClassifier::setImage
-------------------------------
.. cpp:function:: bool CascadeClassifier::setImage( Ptr<FeatureEvaluator>\& feval, const Mat\& image )
Sets an image for detection, which is called by ``detectMultiScale`` at each image level.
:param feval: Pointer to the feature evaluator that is used for computing features.
:param image: Matrix of the type ``CV_8UC1`` containing an image where the features are computed.
.. index:: CascadeClassifier::runAt
CascadeClassifier::runAt
----------------------------
.. cpp:function:: int CascadeClassifier::runAt( Ptr<FeatureEvaluator>\& feval, Point pt )
Runs the detector at the specified point. Use ``setImage`` to set the image that the detector is working with.
:param feval: Feature evaluator that is used for computing features.
:param pt: Upper left point of the window where the features are computed. Size of the window is equal to the size of training images.
The function returns 1 if the cascade classifier detects an object in the given location.
Otherwise, it returns ``si``, which is an index of the stage that first predicted that the given window is a background image.??
.. index:: groupRectangles
groupRectangles
-------------------
.. cpp:function:: void groupRectangles(vector<Rect>\& rectList, int groupThreshold, double eps=0.2)
Groups the object candidate rectangles.
:param rectList: Input/output vector of rectangles. Output vector includes retained and grouped rectangles.??
:param groupThreshold: Minimum possible number of rectangles minus 1. The threshold is used in a group of rectangles to retain it.??
:param eps: Relative difference between sides of the rectangles to merge them into a group.
The function is a wrapper for the generic function
:ref:`partition` . It clusters all the input rectangles using the rectangle equivalence criteria that combines rectangles with similar sizes and similar locations (the similarity is defined by ``eps`` ). When ``eps=0`` , no clustering is done at all. If
:math:`\texttt{eps}\rightarrow +\inf` , all the rectangles are put in one cluster. Then, the small clusters containing less than or equal to ``groupThreshold`` rectangles are rejected. In each other cluster, the average rectangle is computed and put into the output rectangle list.
