How to remove detected human after DetectMultiScale?

Hi guys, now I'm workin on my False Human Detection projects. Can you tell me how to remove detected human after DetectMultiScale? So I can skip False Human Detection for the next frame detection.

For Example:

std::vector<cv::Rect> rects;
CascadeClassifier.detectMultiScale(frame, rects);

if(rects.size() > 0){
 for(unsigned int r = 0; r < rects.size(); r++){
   //DELETE DETECTED HUMAN (RECT) HERE!
 }
}

I'll appreciate any help here, thanks. :)

could you explain, what you mean by 'remove' ? from the vector of rects ?

also, how would you recognize a false detection ?

He probably knows beforehand that the image he is testing has no humans at all

Yeah remove the vector of rects for detected human. I can recognize a false detection by it's color, motion, etc. for example: When a statue detected as human, I'll track the motion of detected statue. If there's no motion/movement at all, I'll remove the statue from detected human because the real human will move although only a little movement.

rect.erase() perhaps?

I've tried that "rect.erase()" and I got an error message: "IntelliSense: no instance of overloaded function "std::vector<_Ty, _Alloc>::erase [with _Ty=cv::Rect, _Alloc=std::allocator<cv::Rect>]" matches the argument list object type is: std::vector<cv::Rect, std::allocator<cv::Rect>>"

here's how you remove items from a vector:

vector<Rect>::iterator itc= rects.begin();
while (itc!=rects.end()) {
    if( NOT_A_HUMAN(*itc)) { // (*itc) is a Rect
        // erase needs an iterator, also be careful to use the returned iterator,
        //  not the previous one (that will be invalid)
        itc = rects.erase(itc); 
    }else{
        ++itc;
    }
}

I've tried it, but when I bring a statue or "NOT HUMAN" things to the scene an error message show up: "Debug Assertion Failed! Expression: vector subscript out of range" I think this is a vector problem. hmmm...

Ups sorry, it work! but sometimes show up: "Debug Assertion Failed! Expression: vector subscript out of range" :(
