The haar cascade files do not seem to work properly

#1

Every time I use cv2.CasacadeClassifier on the nose file or the eyes file it seems to give the error <class ‘cv2.CascadeClassifier’> returned a result with an error set
I am trying to use the line cv2.CascadeClassifier(‘Nose18x15.xml’) and cv2.CascadeClassifier(‘frontalEyes35x16’) for eyes and nose respectively.

Hey @rahul.bisht16,
This should not be the case. Might be your files are corrupted, Just download the eyes and nose xml file again.
I hope you have done frontface detection. In that case also there was a xml file to be loaded with cv2.CascadeClassifier, and now eyes and nose also xml files. Just make sure everything is correct and it will work fine.

Thanks :slight_smile:

I’m also facing the same problem as stated by @rahul.bisht16.
I’ve downloaded the eyes and nose xml files again, but the problem is not solved from this.
So please help.I’ve attached the image of error.

Try this :
cv2.CascadeClassifier(cv2.data.haarcascades + "your_xml_file.xml")

I am facing the same issue. I also tried cv2.data.haarcascades but it is showing an error that cv2.cv2 has no attr ‘data’.
