Step 1 : Download and Install OpenCV 2.1.0 .
OpenCV 2.1.0 installation on Visual Studio 2008 guide is here .
Step 2 : Start with a new C++ Console win32 Application project on Visual studio.
Then create a new NearestTest.cpp file within that project.
Step 3 : Then create a face database with using several images as follows,
Database folder ->
Step 4 : Mainly this app consisting with two parts,
1. Image Training Part -
first you have to train Face Images from train.txt
training images.
-> learn() method
2. Image Recognition Part -
then using test.txt testing images, recognize each
and every face through training images (facedata.xml).
-> recognize() method
- After doing training -> it will create facedata.xml with using PCA technique.
- Then using facedata.xml, recognition will be done.
Step 5 : Create the Project Folder Structure as follows and then download all the
coding stuffs from above and then add to NearestTest.cpp file.
Step 6 : After creating folder structure and .cpp file build the whole project.
1. first train the images--> facedata.xml will be generated.
2. then test the app using test images--> output is as follows,
