I am using OpenCV 3.0 beta.
I tried to create a face recogniser using createLBPHFaceRecognizer(); class as,
**Ptr <FaceRecognizer> model = createLBPHFaceRecognizer();**
the error I have is
**error: 'createLBPHFaceRecognizer' was not declared in this scope**
I have researched and found that the class exists in contrib
module of opencv2
(opencv2/contrib/contrib.hpp) in previous versions of OpenCV
But this module is not available in opencv 3.0 beta.
So where are the recogniser classes defined in opencv 3.0?
If they are not defined,how can we add this module in addition to the existing modules?
you will have to download and build the opencv_contrib repo.
after running cmake, make, make install,
#include <opencv2/face.hpp>
// note the additional namespace:
cv::Ptr <cv::face::FaceRecognizer> model = cv::face::createLBPHFaceRecognizer();
// proceed as usual
from https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib:
- Start cmake-gui
- Select the opencv source code folder and the folder where binaries
will be built (the 2 upper forms of the interface)
- Press the configure button. you will see all the opencv build
parameters in the central interface
- Browse the parameters and look for the form called
OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH (use the search form to focus rapidly on
it)
- Complete this OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH by the proper pathname to
the /modules value using its browse button.
- Press the configure button followed by the generate button (the
first time, you will be asked which makefile style to use)
- Build the opencv core with the method you chose (make and make
install if you chose Unix makfile at step 6)
To run, linker flags to contrib modules will need to be added to use them in your code/IDE. For example to use the aruco module, "-lopencv_aruco" flag will be added.
On my Debian installation
$ dpkg -l libopencv-contrib-dev
ii libopencv-contrib-dev:amd64 3.2.0+dfsg-6 amd64 development files for libopencv-contrib3.2
enables me to use contributed modules with just an additional include. For example:
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
#include <opencv2/face.hpp>
auto model = cv::face::createLBPHFaceRecognizer();
