I'm new to opencv 3.0. I cannot figure out how to use a SVM object in a custom class. Can someone give me a toy example how to do it?

Here is an example for opencv 2.4.x:

// Class Definition    
class myClass{
    public:
        myClass();

    private:
        CvSVM svm;
};

// Constructor
myClass::myClass()
{
    myClass::svm.load("Some/hard/coded/path/to/a/SVM/File");
}

I guess the class definition should look similar to this:

class myClass {
    private:
    static cv::Ptr<cv::ml::SVM> svm;
};

But my Constructor keeps on failing:

myClass::myClass(){
    myClass::svm->load("Some/hard/coded/path/to/a/SVM/File");
}

with the following error message:

error: no matching function for call to 'cv::ml::SVM::load(const char [120])'

for opencv3, try like this:

(Algorithm::load is a static template function nowadays, it returns a new instance)

// Class Definition    
class myClass{
    public:
        myClass();

    int predict(const Mat &query) const;

    private:
        Ptr<ml::SVM> svm;
};

// Constructor
myClass::myClass()
{
    svm = Algorithm::load<ml::SVM>load("Some/hard/coded/path/to/a/SVM/File");
}

int myClass::predict(const Mat &query) const
{
    return (int)svm->predict(query);
}

sidenote: 3.0 has a couple of warts wrt. machine-learning. you probably should update to current master (3.1, atm.)

I'm not sure entirely whether it's 3.0 or 3.1 I'm dealing with, since I'm doing surgery in the code of somebody else, but it's clearly not 2.4.x.

cerr << cv::getBuildInformation(); will help you to find out.

I guess it's kind of fine thanks! I still get some error while compiling, but that might be due to some missing linked library: error: undefined reference to 'cv::ml::SVM::create()'
