noobproof's profile - activity

I have just started with OpenCV. My motivation is object detection. I am using Bag of words algorithm http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/modules/...

I am using caltech database. Partially Annotated Databases The Caltech Database http://pascallin.ecs.soton.ac.uk/chal...

I have attached my working code. So far the recognition is based on MAT() which is formed after looping over all the positive dataset images. So everytime I introduce a new test image out of the training dataset the code build the new MAT(), bowTrainer.add(features), and new Vocabulary.

I want to remove this step of training again and again. So that when i give a new image it checks against "final trained matrix" and gives result quickly.

Also, how to implement it such a way that after predicting the class of input image system is trained afterwards??
