I run these command

opencv_traincascade -data data/cascade -vec samples1.vec -bg negative/infofile.txt -numPos 231 -numNeg 100 -w 25 -h 15

in Centos systems and it returns the follow

Do you actually have enough negative images? It seems it cannot get enough negative samples in the first iteration.

I read that negative images have to be less than possitive.

Btw it returns the same problem when I use more images. I notices that when the vec file created there was a parse error. Is that a reason that it can train?

I mean in your actual negative image set defined in bg.txt file... You have to be sure that it is possible to retrieve 100 unique negative samples. And about the parse error, that is probable because your -num parameter is not the same as your actual positive examples training set length.

In bg.txt there are 1000 images.

About the parse error, the file has 231 rows and I can not understand why there is a parse error in line 232. I removed the 232 line and executed the command again and the error still exist:/

Did you specify -num 231 at the createsample utility? Then your parse error should be gone. Can you give a view of your neg and pos txt file by using the edit button of your question?
