opencv_traincascade too quick with bad results [closed]

edit

Hello, I'm trying to make an app in python which basically counts the amount of money in the picture or camera feed.

I assumed that Haar cascade detection is the right one for this job, so I followed this tutorial: https://pythonprogramming.net/haar-ca...

So I downloaded about 2500 negative images showing tables, I took the image he used (50x50): , scaled every negative to 100x100 and after execution of these 3 commands:

opencv_createsamples.exe -img .\obverse.jpg -bg .\bg.txt -info .\info\info.lst -pngoutput .\info\ -maxxangle 0.5 -maxyangle 0.5 -maxzangle 0.5 -num 2500

opencv_createsamples.exe -info .\info\info.lst -num 2500 -w 20 -h 10 -vec positives.vec

opencv_traincascade.exe -data .\data\ -vec .\positives.vec -bg .\bg.txt -numPos 2000 -numNeg 1000 -numStages 10 -w 20 -h 10

I seem to be getting good results (didn't actually wait till stage 10, but it generates some good results (seems to me)).

However, after swapping the watch to this image of a polish banknote:

,

resizing it from 909x403 to 50x25, resizing negatives to 100x50 and running previous 3 commands, the training lasts 1 minute until stage 8, where it achieves false alarm rate:

opencv_traincascade.exe -data .\data\ -vec .\positives.vec -bg .\bg.txt -numPos 2000 -numNeg 1000 -numStag
