I tried to compile the code given at http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/objdetect/cascade_classifier/cascade_classifier.html#explanation

got the following errors. whats wrong??

1>------ Build started: Project: testprojectone, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1>objectDetection.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: bool __thiscall cv::CascadeClassifier::load(class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char="">,class std::allocator<char> > const &)" ([email protected]@[email protected]@[email protected][email protected]@[email protected]@[email protected]@[email protected]@[email protected]@@Z) referenced in function _main 1>objectDetection.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual void __thiscall cv::CascadeClassifier::detectMultiScale(class cv::Mat const &,class std::vector<class cv::rect_<int="">,class std::allocator<class cv::rect_<int=""> > > &,double,int,int,class cv::Size_<int>,class cv::Size_<int>)" ([email protected]@[email protected]@[email protected]@[email protected][email protected]@[email protected]@[email protected][email protected]@[email protected]@@[email protected]@@[email protected]@[email protected]@[email protected]@Z) referenced in function "void __cdecl detectAndDisplay(class cv::Mat)" ([email protected]@[email protected]@@@Z) 1>objectDetection.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall cv::CascadeClassifier::CascadeClassifier(void)" ([email protected]@@[email protected]) referenced in function "void __cdecl dynamic initializer for 'face_cascade''(void)" ([email protected]@YAXXZ) 1>objectDetection.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual __thiscall cv::CascadeClassifier::~CascadeClassifier(void)" ([email protected]@@[email protected]) referenced in function "void __cdecldynamic atexit destructor for 'face_cascade''(void)" ([email protected]@YAXXZ) 1>C:\Users\Aditya\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\testprojectone\Debug\testprojectone.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 4 unresolved externals ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Thanks for replying! i did link to that library and the code build was complete, but still the output window shows "error loading" meaning that its not able to load the haarcascade xls file. I tried copying the file to the current directory, but still it gives the same error. Am i doing smthing wrong?

"unresolved external" you're missing a library.

did you link to opencv_objdetect244d.lib ? (whatever opencv-version, can't see that from yout post)

and, as always, without the d for release mode

xls ? xml !

try giving it an absolute path: "c:/opencv/data/..."
avoid single backslashes"\" (or take two of them"\") since they're used as escape symbols
check the return of cascade.load(), bail out if it could not find it
if you copy it to the same directory, make sure, your program starts there, too (your ide might have other ideas about that)

This worked!! But the speed of detection is quite slow..What can we do to optimize it?

I got the same problem when i tried to implement the code from the link, how did you solve the problem? i dont understand the above suggestion.
