Softcascades for Human Detection

Hi,

I need to do human motion detection on real time. I heard OpenCV 3.0 comes with Softcascades trained for humans as well. I also heared it is very fast. However I did not find any article or sample in any web page regarding this. From where can I get the softcascades for real time human detection? Or can you give me some info?

Apart from that, I must run this detector using multiple cameras. That means, I have 4-5 cams (for now) and I need to run the detector in real time in video feeds generated by all the cams. So I can watch for people using all the cams. In order to do this, how fast the computer should be? any idea?

I really appreciate your kind advices here because I have to make an investment on computers etc.

@berak: You mean the softcascades are not supported any more?

that probably means more : in transit, in the process of getting moved to the contrib repo (at least i read it this way.) .

but git never forgets, you can just checkout the commit just before that.

if you already got 3.0, you might as well try it

oh, it seems to be patented
