Cascade Classifier
Goal
In this tutorial you will learn how to: Use the CascadeClassifier class to detect objects in a video stream. Particularly, we will use the functions: load to load a .xml classifier file. It can be either a Haar or a LBP classifer detectMultiScale to perform the detection.

Theory Code
This tutorial codes is shown lines below. You can also download it from here . The second version (using LBP for face detection) can be found here

Result
1. Here is the result of running the code above and using as input the video stream of a build-in webcam:

Remember to copy the files haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml and haarcascade_eye_tree_eyeglasses.xml in your current directory. They are located in opencv/data/haarcascades 2. This is the result of using the file lbpcascade_frontalface.xml (LBP trained) for the face detection. For the eyes we keep using the file used in the tutorial.
