I created an SVM classifier with HOG (Histogram oriented Gradient) to detect a specific shape and it's working, I create positive images and negative images to use them in the detectMultiScale function.

I want to detect not only positive images, but also negative images and I can't find how to do that.

This is an example of the images I used, the goal is to detect and classify valves in two classes: Classe 1: valve closed (First image), and class 2 valve opened, I chose to use HOG + SVM because I have a lot of valves with different colors, and some valves without colors, I want to detect if the valve is open or close with a video stream.

if you trained an object detection (similar to here) , you're restricted to a single object class (and negative, background images).

if you trained a multi-class classification, you don't need any "negative" images, those from the "other" classes serve that purpose.

long story short: if you want to use HOGDescriptor::detectMultiscale -- you're restricted to a single object class.

You are right, the code in your link is the code i used, do you have an idea what function i should use, and if you have a simple code or how to start this i will be very grateful, i dont know how to start, I have to train to same SVM with the 2 classifiers? or create 2 SVMs? and if I create 2 SVMs how to combine them the detect the two classes in the same image?

could you provide some images to understand your problem well

sorry, but it's quite unclear, which problem you're trying to solve, based on which data.

is it even about detection ? (do you need the location ?)

i added some explanations, yes i want to detect the valves and their state open or close

that's 2 different things at the same time.

but i think HOG + SVM do this, tel me if i am wrong, it save the gradient histogram and try to find a similar histogram in the input image, what i want to do is to extract HOG descriptor from database(classe 1 and Classe2) and then train SVM with this descriptors and try to find in a video block by block if it's similar to classe 1 or Classe 2 or neither classe 1 or 2

@berak i dont have a lot experience in image processing do you think i am chosing a good method to resolve this problem?
