Important: This guide assumes you work with OpenCV 2.4.x. Since I no longer work with OpenCV, and don't have the time to keep up with changes and fixes, this guide is unmaintained. Pull requests will be merged of course, and if someone else wants commit access, feel free to ask!
This repository aims to provide tools and information on training your own OpenCV Haar classifier. Use it in conjunction with this blog post: Train your own OpenCV Haar classifier.
Install OpenCV & get OpenCV source
brew tap homebrew/science
brew install --with-tbb opencv
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/opencvlibrary/opencv-unix/2.4.9/opencv-2.4.9.zip
unzip opencv-2.4.9.zip
Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/mrnugget/opencv-haar-classifier-training
Put your positive images in the ./positive_images
folder and create a list
of them:
find ./positive_images -iname "*.jpg" > positives.txt
Put the negative images in the ./negative_images
folder and create a list of them:
find ./negative_images -iname "*.jpg" > negatives.txt
Create positive samples with the bin/createsamples.pl
script and save them
to the ./samples
folder:
perl bin/createsamples.pl positives.txt negatives.txt samples 1500\
"opencv_createsamples -bgcolor 0 -bgthresh 0 -maxxangle 1.1\
-maxyangle 1.1 maxzangle 0.5 -maxidev 40 -w 80 -h 40"
Use tools/mergevec.py
to merge the samples in ./samples
into one file:
python ./tools/mergevec.py -v samples/ -o samples.vec
Note: If you get the error struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 12
then go into your samples directory and delete all files of length 0.
Start training the classifier with opencv_traincascade
, which comes with
OpenCV, and save the results to ./classifier
:
opencv_traincascade -data classifier -vec samples.vec -bg negatives.txt\
-numStages 20 -minHitRate 0.999 -maxFalseAlarmRate 0.5 -numPos 1000\
-numNeg 600 -w 80 -h 40 -mode ALL -precalcValBufSize 1024\
-precalcIdxBufSize 1024
After starting the training program it will print back its parameters and then start training. Each stage will print out some analysis as it is trained:
===== TRAINING 0-stage =====
<BEGIN
POS count : consumed 1000 : 1000
NEG count : acceptanceRatio 600 : 1

Training until now has taken 0 days 3 hours 19 minutes 16 seconds.
Each row represents a feature that is being trained and contains some output about its HitRatio and FalseAlarm ratio. If a training stage only selects a few features (e.g. N = 2) then its possible something is wrong with your training data.
At the end of each stage the classifier is saved to a file and the process can be stopped and restarted. This is useful if you are tweaking a machine/settings to optimize training speed.
Wait until the process is finished (which takes a long time — a couple of days probably, depending on the computer you have and how big your images are).
Use your finished classifier!
cd ~/opencv-2.4.9/samples/c
chmod +x build_all.sh
./build_all.sh
./facedetect --cascade="~/finished_classifier.xml"
A huge thanks goes to Naotoshi Seo, who wrote the mergevec.cpp
and
createsamples.cpp
tools and released them under the MIT licencse. His notes
on OpenCV Haar training were a huge help. Thank you, Naotoshi!
