Opencv Cascade classification instead of detection












0














I have trained my classifiers by using Cascade classification from opencv for object classification.



I have three classes and I have got three *.xml files.



I know one region of the image must be one of the three classes.



However by using opencv, only detectMultiScale function is provided, I must scan the image (or ROI) to find all possible objects in it.



Is there method to classify whether one image(or roi) is matching a specified object or not?



Thank you!

          From your question I understand that you want to classify three separate ROIs of an image. You might want to create three crops for the defined ROIs:



          import cv2
          img = cv2.imread("full_image.png")
          crop_img1 = img[y:y+h, x:x+w]
          #create crop_img2 and crop_img3 analogously


          And apply a classifier on each of the three cropped images.

            It's worth adding that ROI doesn't mean copying data.

          • Thank you for your answer but it is not about how to extract an ROI, but how to use Cascade Haar classifier to classify whether an ROI belongs to a class or not. I will try to improve my description also.

          • Yes, I make the assumption that you already know the three ROIs (that is, the coordinates y, x as well as height and width w, h of each region). Do I understand correctly from your comment that you want to rather know how to use the built-in classifier in general?

          • Generally, I would like to point out the difference between classification and detection. The task you want to perform is classification of an image (an ROI would also be an image). Classification would be the assignment of one single class label to such picture. OpenCV's detectMultiScale method is used for detection, that is the localization of zero or more object bounding boxes in an image (for example, all human faces in a given input image).
