Speeding up Haartraining with AMD GPU and OpenCL

Hello. What are the steps required for accelerating haartraining with OpenCL GPU?

I'm using openCV 2.4.5. I managed to build with OpenCL support, I have a AMD Radeon GPU but I can't figure out how to make the haartrainer use the GPU. My OpenCL detects the GPU correctly. I use the opencv_haartraining binary. Do I need to modify any source code for this to work ?

Hi,

I tried to get the face detection run as well and tried to make the facedetect demo run. There was a compiler error in an opencl kernel on my mac using an AMD GPU. I posted my solution for that as the answer to another question here in the forum .

I had to de-comment the line #108 in my code to move the calculations to the GPU however:
