Running the classifier

[damirstuhec]

What would be the best way to run this classifier with OpenCV on mac? I have a demo project set up in which I'm trying to recognize face emotion/expression, but I'm currently using a default haarcascade_frontalcatface.xml provided by OpenCV.

Thanks!

You can use a terminal or a Python IDE to run it with no problem (I use a PC with Ubuntu Linux, but it should be no different for Mac).

And it does actually use the default haarcascade_frontalcatface.xml provided by OpenCV for initial face detection. After it uses that to detect a face, it then starts to collect video data (to form dataset) or make predictions (if you are using emotion-program.py).
