Training a Haar Cascade Object Detector in OpenCV

Using a Haar cascade classifier in OpenCV is simple. You just need to provide the trained model in an XML file to create the classifier. Training one from scratch, however, is not so straightforward. In this tutorial, you will see how the training should be like. In particular, you will learn: What are the tools […]

Using Haar Cascade for Object Detection

Before the deep learning revolution redefined computer vision, Haar features and Haar cascades were the tools you must not ignore for object detection. Even today, they are very useful object detectors because they are lightweight. In this post, you will learn about the Haar cascade and how it can detect…

Normal Bayes Classifier for Image Segmentation Using OpenCV

The Naive Bayes algorithm is a simple but powerful technique for supervised machine learning. Its Gaussian variant is implemented in the OpenCV library. In this tutorial, you will learn how to apply OpenCV’s normal Bayes algorithm, first on a custom two-dimensional dataset and subsequently for segmenting an image. After…

How to Train a Object Detection Engine with HOG in OpenCV

In the previous post, you saw that OpenCV can extract features from an image using a technique called the Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG). In short, this is to convert a “patch” of an image into a numerical vector. This vector, if set up appropriately, can identify key features within…
