Hi,

I am having a weird problem and struggling with it now..

using( CvHaarClassifierCascade cascade = 
CvHaarClassifierCascade.FromFile( @"C:\opencv\2.4.11\opencv\sources\data\haarcascades\haarcascade_frontalface_alt2.xml" ) )

Above is my code. And this is really basic cascade loading function which I could find many places. But this code returns an error:

The node does not represent a user object (unknown type?)

I tried other xml files but still getting the same error..

Why did it happen and how do I fix it? Please help!!

OpenCV does not have an official C# wrapper

It's not OpenCV's official wraper but it's in NuGet and widely used.

Seems that old cacade xml and recent cacades have different format..

@Papercut, yes, the c-based wrappers can't read the new format.

it's a deficiancy of your c# wrapper (it's built on an outdated api), not an opencv problem
