Loading Model for FisherFaceRecognizer

edit

yes, unfortunately, those interfaces are in perpetual motion, and 3.4 will also differ from 3.3.0.

can you add the 1st few lines of your xml to the question ? (and maybe find out the version, from which it was saved ?)

Thanks for your help. The code can be found on the following repo( click) . The model files can be found in the fish_models folder. I'm not quite sure about the OpenCV version, but in the corresponding blog post here it is mentioned that OpenCV 3 was used. I'm not sure if this helps since you mentioned that these interfaces can be changed from version to version. Thanks again

"but that results in an error." -- which is, exactly ?

"File can't be opened for reading! in function read"

Here is link:face recognition

I used python 3.5 and OpenCV 3.4.0 for raspberry pi 3. No issue problem.

please take another look at the xml files. do they look like this ? (saved from 3.3.0):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<opencv_storage>
<my_object>

you might (or not) have to insert a <my_object> node manually.

I looked into the xml files. They all seem to start like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<opencv_storage>
<num_components>7</num_components>
<mean type_id="opencv-matrix">
<rows>1</rows>
<cols>122500</cols>
<dt>d</dt>
<data>...

I will try to add the <my_object> node then and see if this works.

@supra56, the file format as well as the commands to read/write it changed a lot, so folks have problems reading models saved from an older version. it's a known issue.

I edited the xml files like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<opencv_storage>
<my_object>
<num_components>7</num_components>
<mean type_id="opencv-matrix">
<rows>1</rows>
<cols>122500</cols>
<dt>d</dt>
<data>...

At the beginning and like this at the end :

<labelsInfo>
</labelsInfo>
</my_object>
</opencv_storage>

But unfortunately I'm still getting the same error as before
