Convert .xml to .cascade

[FeKTapano]

Where is your algorithm for binary haar cascade converter located? The old link for that seems to be broken.

Hi, things got moved around:

https://github.com/openmv/openmv/blob/m ... convert.py

[FeKTapano]

Ok, I got it.
Now I am trying to open my xml with it, however it will always create a blank file. Is this the right way to use it?

Hi,

1) If you need to train a new cascade, follow OpenCV tutorials to train a haar cascade:

https://docs.opencv.org/3.3.0/dc/d88/tu ... scade.html
https://github.com/mrnugget/opencv-haar ... r-training
https://coding-robin.de/2013/07/22/trai ... ifier.html

* Note you have to use -baseFormatSave to save the cascade in the old format

2) Convert the xml cascade to binary using the converter script:

Code: Select all

python2 cascade_convert.py my_cascade.xml

3) Copy my_cascade.cascade to camera storage (flash or SD) and run the example script.

I was training it with the new format, so now I have them in the correct base format.
Now instead of creating a blank file, when I open my xml with the converter script, no file is generated whatsoever.
What should I do?

(I am sending the xml if that helps)

Please run the following command from the command line on Linux:

Code: Select all

python2 cascade_convert.py cascade.xml

Hello,

can we use this file (cascade_convert.py) with python 3.6?

Do you have another way to convert the xml file?

Thank
Julien

I can only confirm it works with Python2, and no it's the only tool we have to convert cascades, sorry.
