How to train a svm?

I have three types of images namely, happy, sad and bored which contain a face corresponding to the each emotion. What kind of operation has to be done before the training? Can anyone provide me some reference code about training a svm?

To train svm you need to have Mat with features and Mat with lables ( 0 - happy, 1 - bored, 2 - sad ). But, I think, getting from images features for emotion characterization is too complicated. Read about Cascade Classifier or object detection

Hmm I do not think this is the solution, why not go for solutions that have proved to work?

  1. Detect faces in image
  2. For each given face, training or detection, calculate facial landmarks, using specific libraries out there for that
  3. Now calculate a decent descriptor of those feature points based on spatial information and a relation to eachother
  4. Train SVM classifiers on that information, not on complete image information!

ou, sorry for wrong information

@StevenPuttemans: I have landmark points on faces detected. How do I use these points to train SVM for emotion detection. Could you provide some reference documents.

And there are also OpenCV based implementations available

@StevenPuttemans I have trained my SVM classifier, but how can I transfer is to a detector in openCV3.0? As I can not get the alpha, sv_count and rho from the trained SVM.xml defined as below:

Ptr<ml::SVM> svm = ml::SVM::create(params);

One of the things I have not tackled yet is the new ML interface so I have no clue :)
